Establishment of Davao – Manado Air Linkage
In support to the development of an ASEAN Single Aviation Market (ASAM) under the MPAC, BIMP-EAGA is also pushing for the establishment, as well as revival of air connectivity within the EAGA focus areas which is expected to increase not only tourism arrivals but also trade activity within and beyond the sub-region. It could be recalled that various airlines have previously operated in the route such as Bouraq Airlines (2002), Merpati Nusantara (2005) and Sriwijaya airlines (2006), which have ceased operations due in part to the companies’ financial and operational losses.
