[Sky Harbor]

PAL can't compete with Cebu Pacific because they're (5J) using an A319 on the route. One thing is definite here: people prefer to fly jet planes than turboprops.

Calm down folks! If the drawings and contract amount is consistent, its hard to see corruption there.By the way, it is "standard" in construction to short-changed some materials so the contractor can compensate for the loss of profit due to the pay-off's being done to rig the bidding process.Unfortunately, this is the cancer of any government infrastructure projects.It's not the ideal improvement you've envisioned but at least something was improved.

In fairness to PAlex patrons on the shelved Cebu-Butuan route, any disappointments from them? Or I guess Agusan folks don't mind going all out for LowCostCarriers.If PALex has sustained its operations in Ozamiz and Dipolog,whats wrong with Butuan/Agusan?

Travelers prefer the bigger airplane of Cebu Pacific, an Airbus A319, which is used in the CEB-BXU leg, than the turbo-prop Bombardier Dash 8 Q300 of PAL Express that's why PALex succumbed to 5J. Kaya ayun, wala nang PALex dito.
