Clark International Airport—The hottest months of the year are fast approaching, but the usual vacations and travels will not happen this year as the Covid-19 pandemic rages on.

People will continue to seek refuge in their homes and many countries have closed their borders to prevent the spread of the virus.

Sunlight Air’s travel bubble, however, offers domestic travelers a glimmer of hope. The company on Friday inaugurated here its travel bubble package’s new route: Clark-Busuanga.

“We are starting our Clark operations today. We are trying to make tourism possible again,” said Ryna Brito, CEO and accountable manager of Sunlight Air.

“Given the movement of flights now and seeing how empty this airport is, maybe we’ll start with having once a month flight from Clark and then we’ll see if tourism picks up again, we can keep adding more flights,” she said prior to the formal cutting of the ribbon for its inaugural flight to Busuanga.

Brito said, “travel bubble basically is taking you from your home to SETIR [Sunlight Eco-Tourism Island Resort in Busuanga, a sister company of Sunlight Air] as seamless as possible.”

“We are making travel possible again. So, from your house to go to your destination, that’s a bubble,” she said. “You don’t have to go through any external travels to get to the resort.”

“So, for example from Clark, you take the aircraft to Busuanga. From there, you will be picked up by a private vehicle and then a private speed boat that will take you to the resort.”

Brito said Sunlight Air is working with other partners in Busuanga. Currently, it is in the process of finalizing a contract with Club Paradise.

“Sunlight Air will be taking you to Club Paradise through a travel bubble also. So, what we do is we create packages so that when you pay, everything is already included like a roundtrip air fare, accommodations, and even dining credits.”

Clark-Busuanga starts at P31,000 per person for 4 days and 3 nights with free breakfasts and one meal ticket plus dining credits.

“Also, the reason why we are called travel bubble and the reason why we create seamless travel experiences is because we have partners with accredited clinics—if you need to get tested before your flight, we can just send a med-tech representative to your house, so it won’t be too bothersome for you,” she said.

“We want to take away the hassle when travelling.  People shy away from traveling because there are too many requirements.”
