Starting 29 March, the airline will add 33 weekly flights from MCIA to meet peak summer travel demand, enhancing access to destinations such as Bacolod City, Boracay, and El Nido.

MCIA's domestic network is complemented by growing international connectivity, highlighted by the recent arrival of Philippine Airlines’ Airbus A350-1000. This advanced aircraft enhances passenger comfort and fuel efficiency, supporting long-haul flights.
