Great News! You Can Now Take Direct Flights from Taiwan to Puerto Princesa

Direct flights from Taipei, Taiwan, to Puerto Princesa are set to resume in March, marking an exciting development for travelers looking to explore this beautiful island's pristine beaches and lush landscapes.

This announcement of direct flights from Taipei is a welcome relief for those eager to visit Palawan, one of the most popular tourist destinations in the Philippines, known for its stunning natural beauty and rich marine life.

According to Demetrio Alvior, the City Tourism Department or CTD Chief, passengers with flights from Taipei will travel to Puerto Princesa through Royal Air Philippines as per a notice issued last February 6.

Royal Air Philippines is a Philippine-registered budget airline, replacing Tiger Air in catering to passengers bound for Puerto Princesa and those with Taipei direct flights.
