Suspend Operation on Cebu-Bantayan Chartered Flights
Updated Chartered Flight Service Suspension from Cebu to Bantayan
The chartered flight service run by King Aces Travel and Tours Service Inc. (Kattsi) from Cebu to Bantayan Island has been halted "until further notice," effective starting around May 4–5, 2025, as reported by local sources [1][2].
Initially launched on August 28, 2024, these flights leveraged a 72-seater ATR aircraft, shaving the travel time down to an impressive 30 minutes[3]. Prior to suspension, the flights took place twice weekly (Fridays and Sundays)[3].
However, details about the reason for the suspension or any prior suspensions of this specific route are scarce in the available information. In a statement, Kattsi communicated that "We regret that we can no longer service our clients for this route," and asked for patience as they offer assistance with alternative travel arrangements or answer any inquiries about the situation [4]. For more updates, you're encouraged to directly contact King Aces through their Facebook page [3].
Keep an eye on the news and updates for possible clarification about this sudden halt in service. In the meantime, be sure to look into alternative travel arrangements if you were planning on using this route. Stay safe and happy travels!
