Philippine Airlines said Thursday it will launch regular jet flights between Cotabato City and Tawi-Tawi in June, becoming the first air links within the Bangsamoro Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao.

PAL said it would deploy Airbus A320 aircraft on the pioneer route, offering a choice of Business Class and Economy seats on the nonstop flights across the Sulu Sea.

The new service connects BARMM’s mainland areas to its island region, with Cotabato’s Awang Airport and Tawi-Tawi’s Sanga-Sanga airport as travel gateways.

By taking PAL’s non-stop flights, travelers will save several hours compared to the previous choice of traveling via Manila or other domestic gateways outside BARMM that entail a connection between flights or even an overnight stop.

“We are honored to make history by operating the first flight within the new Bangsamoro region, giving us a new opportunity to serve its 4.9 million people,” PAL president and chief operating officer Captain Stanley Ng said. Darwin G. Amojelar
