Kinumpirma ng Civil Aviation Authority of the Philippines (CAAP) na handa na ang Borongan City Airport sa Barangay Punta Maria na tumanggap ng mga flight na pinapatakbo ng mga pangunahing airline.
Sinabi ng CAAP na ang paliparan ay may kagamitan at handang tumanggap ng mga sasakyang panghimpapawid na ATR72, Q300, at Q400 na may kapasidad na 50-pasahero dahil sa haba ng runway na 1.3 kilometro.
Idinagdag ng ahensya na ang isang runway extension ay isinasagawa para sa isa pang 200 metro sa pagtatapos ng taon na higit na magpapalaki sa kapasidad ng sasakyang panghimpapawid.
“We thank CAAP for sharing this vital information with the city government. It will help us open negotiations with major airline companies who will take interest in opening flights to our beloved city,” sinabi ni Ruperto Ambil II, Borongan City Airport Operations Project Lead and Information Officer-in-Charge.
“Under the leadership of Mayor Agda, our fellow Boronganons, as well as potential tourists, no longer have to travel from other regional airports just to visit us,” sinabi ni Borongan City Mayor Jose Ivan Dayan Agda.
Sa kasalukuyan, ang mga residente ng Borongan City at Eastern Samar ay kailangang maglakbay ng limang oras sa pamamagitan ng land travel upang mapuntahan ang pinakamalapit na paliparan sa Tacloban City.
“It is part of my commitment to my fellow Boronganon to open them to countless opportunities that will help increase economic activities in our city. With a direct flight from Borongan City to Manila or Cebu, we can expect a boost in tourism that will eventually lead to more economic opportunities for Boronganons,” sinabi ni Agda.
