I'm not sure of the amount of traffic going to Kalibo that isn't headed to Boracay, but it seems a bit counter intuitive to focus on building a new terminal when a competing destination airfield is focused on taking a large portion of the passenger base. Granted - if the fares are low enough, the demand will continue to rise, but will they want to endure the two hour ride to the Caticlan Jetty Port? Having said that - Caticlan seems to have a bit of trouble adjusting the jets that have shown up. Facilities are taxed and I find it odd that you need to ride the bus through town to get from the plane to the terminal.<br /><br />BTW - I really enjoy your blog!

Second, former is gateway while the latter is not. There are other technical and legal limitations but the two would suffice in a nutshell. So if you are coming from abroad you will have to land at gateway airports in the PH. That supposes you understood what gateway airport means.The Philippine Airspacehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02737978274584175939noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3616539414852509228.post-58025063126845444552017-04-25T08:28:03.230+08:002017-04-25T08:28:03.230+08:00Yes.

They should consider a nonstop ferry service to Boracay from KLO. Otherwise there's no point in flying to that airport.Don Clippingerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00576250106948816085noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3616539414852509228.post-44715312698751410862017-04-16T10:06:22.670+08:002017-04-16T10:06:22.670+08:00can the 2500m runway accomodate wide-body jets? th...can the 2500m runway accomodate wide-body jets? this can relieve congestion by combining capacities of smaller jets.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
