MANILA – Budget carrier AirAsia Philippines on Wednesday announced the resumption of its flights between Manila and Bohol beginning December 1.

From Dec. 1-15, the carrier would be servicing these routes four times weekly, every Tuesday, Thursday, Friday, and Sunday. Daily flights between the two destinations will be offered from Dec. 16-31, the carrier added.

Presidential Spokesperson Harry Roque recently announced that Bohol would reopen its doors to tourists beginning Nov. 15. "Do it yourself tours", however, are prohibited.

Tourists are required to prepare the following: a negative reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) test result taken within 72 hours before the flight departure date; filled up the online registration form that can be found on the website, tourism.bohol.gov.ph, for them to receive personal QR code; and booking confirmation details for hotel or resort located in the municipalities of Panglao or Dauis.

According to AirAsia, locally stranded individuals and returning overseas Filipinos must be able to present the following: medical certificate issued by a licensed physician; travel clearance issued by the PNP Covid Shield; and Certificate of Acceptance from the receiving LGU.

The carrier advised tourists to always bring a copy of the QR code.

Meanwhile, Philippine Airlines (PAL) spokesperson Cielo Villaluna said the flag carrier plans to resume its Bohol flights on Nov. 22.

"Our Manila-Tagbilaran-Manila service will resume on Nov. 22, twice weekly. That is the plan," she said in a text message.

Villaluna added that PAL will announce the reopening of the Bohol route for regular commercial service. (PNA)
