Clark airport ‘taxi flights’ to boost N. Luzon tourism

LAGAWE, Ifugao – The provincial police director here called on the Clark International Airport (CIA) in Pampanga to pursue its plan to launch “taxi flights,” allowing tourists to have faster access to premiere destinations in North Luzon.

Senior Supt. Angelito Casimiro, Ifugao police director, said foreign tourists who landed at the CIA or the airports in Metro Manila had complained of the long hours of land travel to reach the rice terraces in this province, three of which are included in the UNESCO World Heritage Sites.

Casimiro handled tourism safety and community relations in Mindanao for five years and is now helping improve the facilities, including the comfort rooms, in the areas near the Banaue Rice Terraces.

“The tourists say it’s too long and we don’t have time when they learned that they need at least nine hours of one-way land travel to reach Ifugao or Sagada,” said Casimiro. He was referring to nearby Sagada town in Mountain Province, which is also a major tourist spot at the Cordillera Administrative Region (CAR).

Casimiro said they are looking at the Bagabag Airport in Nueva Vizcaya province as the “most ideal area” for the tourists to use after landing the CIA. It takes about an hour of land travel to reach Ifugao from Bagabag town.

Victor Jose Luciano, president and CEO of the Clark International Airport Corp. (CIAC), earlier said he was into talks with airline companies that will offer “taxi flights” and they will serve passengers coming from Luzon.

He cited the airports in Cuayan, Isabela and Bagabag.

“They are like taxi cabs that will pick up passengers in North Luzon. Then passengers will take on the flights at Clark,” said Luciano. He said that light planes carrying at least 10 passengers can be used for the airline service.

Luciano and other CIAC officials are now preparing the airport and its terminal for the Emirates’ daily Dubai-Clark beginning October.

Dubai, one of the members of the United Arab Emirates, is in the Middle East and is used as the major entry point of residents of Europe.

Casimiro said Germans and French tourists are frequently seen at the rice terraces in Ifugao, including the one in Battad, Banaue. ● Joey Pavia
