Travelers eager to explore the enchanting province of Siquijor will soon have a direct, convenient way to reach the island. Sunlight Air, a rapidly growing Philippine-based airline, announced the launch of its inaugural Cebu (CEB) to Siquijor (SJQ) direct flight, with service beginning on December 15.
The new route marks a significant milestone, finally establishing a direct air link to the “Island of Fire” and dramatically reducing travel time for both domestic and international tourists.
Sunlight Air will offer four times weekly (4x) flights on this route, providing travelers with flexible options for quick weekend getaways or longer, immersive visits to Siquijor’s mystical landscapes, pristine beaches, and vibrant culture.
The schedule is strategically timed to allow for seamless connections, particularly for passengers transiting through the Mactan-Cebu International Airport (MCIA).
“The demand for Siquijor has been undeniable, and we are thrilled to be the airline making it easier than ever to explore this truly unique Philippine destination,” said a Sunlight Air spokesperson. “This new route underscores Sunlight Air’s commitment to expanding domestic connectivity and supporting the growth of emerging tourism hubs.”
The introduction of the Cebu-Siquijor flight is a major success for the Mactan-Cebu International Airport Authority (MCIAA) and its ‘CEB Connects’ initiative. This vision aims to solidify MCIA’s position as the country’s premier transit and transfer hub, facilitating effortless travel to the rest of the Philippines.
By offering more direct regional routes, MCIA streamlines the journey for travelers who previously had to rely on multi-leg journeys involving ferry transfers or indirect flights.
A spokesperson for MCIAA expressed enthusiasm for the new route, stating, “We welcome Sunlight Air’s investment in the Cebu-Siquijor route. It is a big win for those transiting MCIA, directly supporting our ‘CEB Connects’ vision. This flight not only caters to the demand for Siquijor but also enhances MCIA’s network, truly making our airport the gateway to the Central Visayas and beyond.”
Tickets for the new Cebu-Siquijor route are available for booking starting today. Travelers are encouraged to visit the Sunlight Air website at [Insert Sunlight Air Website Link] or contact their preferred travel agent to secure their seats for the inaugural flights and future trips.
The direct service is expected to be a key driver of economic activity and tourism for Siquijor in the upcoming holiday and peak travel seasons.
