Cathay Pacific arrives in Iloilo

Cathay Pacific, a Hong Kong based airline, has just recently opened their new ticketing office in Iloilo City to cater to passengers in Western Visayas. It is located in D’ Arthur Suites along General Luna St., City Proper.

Currently, Cathay Pacific does not service direct international flights in the New Iloilo Airport (just like in the case of Davao). If there is enough demand though, they would most likely consider putting up direct flights to international destinations. Their main market could be overseas filipino workers (OFWs) having roots in Western Visayas, tourists visiting Iloilo and using it as a gateway to nearby provinces, or even Koreans going to Iloilo to study English.

This new development surely takes Iloilo one step closer to its desire of having international flights to complement its new modern airport.
