Antique Airport Re-opens

16 December 2018



Philippine Airlines has re-launch its services to Antique as it began on Sunday its Antique-Clark route twice a week.

The twice-weekly route will be serviced by PAL's brand new 86-seater Bombardier Next Generation Q400 aircraft, the company said in a statement.

Flight PR2205 departs from Clark every Sunday and Tuesday at 6 a.m., arriving at the Evelio B. Javier airport in San Jose de Buenavista in Antique at 7:20 a.m.

Flight PR2206, on the other hand, departs from Antique at 7:40 a.m., arriving in Clark at 9 a.m.

Department of Transportation (DOTr) Undersecretary Manuel Antonio Tamayo,opens back the airport and welcome the return of PAL to Antique after 21 years of absence.

The Fokker-50 service has since been replaced by Asian Spirit (now AirAsia) Dash 7 until 12 years ago when it stopped operations due to economic non-viability with passengers opting to travel to nearby Iloilo for flights.

“After 12 years ago, the airport has returned to commercial operation,” Tamayo said
