Korea-Subic budget flight set for takeoff
A new budget airline, Pacific Pearl Airways is set to start the only direct flight between South Korea and the Subic Bay Freeport this August.
Pacific Pearl is also preparing daily flight schedules from South Korea to several destinations in the Philippines, namely, Subic, Manila, Kalibo, Cebu City and Davao City," Pacific Pearl vice president for marketing Eligio Jimenez said.
The airline will use a new Boeing 737-200 aircraft and can carry 114 passengers at a time.
Jimenez said Pacific Pearl had an agreement with the Subic Bay Metropolitan Authority to lease a hangar in the Subic Bay International Airport.
He said passengers from Korea bound for Subic would gain savings and lessen travel time because they would not have to stop over in Manila.
