Hong Kong Express flights start
CLARK FREEPORT -- The Hong Kong Express has restored its flights between Hong Kong and the Philippines with the arrival of its inaugural flight today at the Diosdado Macapagal International Airport (DMIA).
Clark International Airport Corporation (Ciac) president Victor Jose Luciano described the entry of Hong Kong Express as "remarkable development" for DMIA as it is being geared as the premier international gateway in the country.
Luciano hoped that Hong Kong Express will eventually increase its thrice a week flights to a daily flights.
"The resurgence of flights from Hong Kong has been much awaited by the people of Central Luzon and this is going to be a remarkable development for DMIA," he said.
"We hope that the three flights will eventually be stepped-up to even daily flights because we can now attract Hong Kong tourists to come and visit Clark and Subic," Luciano added.
Hong Kong Express, established in 2005, is the latest foreign air carriers to operate at DMIA which was recently declared by President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo as the premier international airport and logistic hub in the country.
The air carrier from the former British colony flies in at least 56 destinations in Asia including China, Japan, Thailand, and the Philippines.
Hong Kong Express has at least four Boeing 737-800 aircrafts. It would add another aircraft this month to increase its passenger capacity plying the route Hong Kong-Clark-Hong Kong.
William Po, country manager of Hong Kong Express, earlier said overseas Filipino workers (OFWs) will benefit the Hong Kong Express flights at Clark since most of them comes from Northern and Central Luzon.
According to Po, Hong Kong Express is a subsidiary of the Hong Kong Airlines that used to operate in Clark until they stop last year.
Luciano lauded the efforts of the Maxon Asia Telecom Corporation for taking the risk in attracting Hong Kong Express to conduct flights at DMIA.
He said the corporation also working to promote Clark and the airport as a tourist destination.
