A Smoother Journey to Paradise, Driving Tourism with Sustainable Development
The new route offers a convenient alternative to Ninoy Aquino International Airport (NAIA), making it an ideal option for travelers from Northern and Central Luzon. It also helps decongest Manila’s main airport while providing a faster, hassle-free gateway to Palawan.
To accommodate the expected rise in visitors, efforts are underway to increase the capacity of El Nido Airport (ENI). Future enhancements will ensure that the airport can support growing passenger volumes while maintaining its commitment to sustainable and responsible tourism.
“This new flight route is a game-changer for El Nido,” said Cris Zuluaga, Head of Ayala Land Leisure Estates. “With these new flights, we look forward to welcoming travelers who seek immersive, nature focused experiences that will help drive local economic growth while ensuring that El Nido remains preserved for generations to come.”
Greater accessibility to El Nido and Ayala Land’s leisure destinations is expected to boost tourism, generate jobs, and strengthen local businesses. The initiative aligns with Ayala Land’s vision of responsible development, ensuring that increased foot traffic contributes to sustainable practices and community enrichment.
