KALIBO, Aklan (PIA) -- Direct flights from Taiwan to Kalibo International Airport will resume this December 2022, the Civil Aviation Authority of the Philippines (CAAP)-Aklan confirmed.

In a media interview, CAAP-Aklan manager Engr. John William Fuerte said that the TigerAir Taiwan of the China Airlines Group will recommence flights to Kalibo starting December 29, 2022.
