If you book earlier starting today until seat promos last, the fare will only cost you 25% of the original fare travelling the route of Zamboanga City to Tawi-Tawi.

With two airlines, Air Philippines and Cebu Pacific, travelling to Tawi-Tawi; we are hoping for more opportunities it may open to the said province. I, myself, is hoping for an international destination from Tawi-Tawi - abroad too.
