Flights Returning to MCIA: AirSwift Resumes Cebu to El Nido Flight

GMR MEGAWIDE Cebu Airport Corporation (GMCAC), together with Mactan-Cebu International Airport Authority (MCIAA), is delighted to announce the relaunching of AirSwift’s Cebu (CEB) to El Nido, Palawan (ENI) service today, December 3, 2021.

The twice-weekly Cebu-El Nido service will operate every Monday and Friday via AirSwift’s 72-seater ATR 72-600 aircraft. T6336 departs from El Nido, Palawan at 1:00 p.m., while return flight T6337 departs from Cebu at 3:10 p.m.

“We are pleased by the resumption of AirSwift’s Cebu-El Nido service. For us, it indicates that the recovery of travel and tourism in the Philippines, especially in smaller yet no less impressive destinations such as El Nido is well underway,” GMCAC President Louie Ferrer said.

“We at MCIA continue to promote safe and responsible tourism while helping to reinvigorate the local economies of Cebu and Palawan through the reopening of this route,” he continued.

“As we slowly reopen the economy through the resumption of domestic flights like the Cebu-El Nido services of AirSwift, we remind our passengers to continue observing the minimum public health standards to ensure the health and safety of everyone,” MCIAA General Manager Julius G. Neri, Jr. said.

AirSwift is the only boutique airline offering roundtrip flights to El Nido from Cebu, Manila, Clark, Caticlan, Coron, and Tagbilaran, bringing passengers to their dream vacation destinations since 2002.
