City Traffic Operations Management board chairman Sylvan “Jack”
Jakosalem said he and some pilots want to give tribute to Bahinting by
dropping flowers from the air. He added that six private planes and a
chopper will participate in the floral offering.
Aviatour, the company Jessup established, runs a flight school and offer aerial tours.
It also sells aircraft.
Ferol said the flight school has more than 100 students at present and all of them are foreigners.
She added that the flight school would survive despite Jessup’s death because it has competent instructors.
Anti-venom
Masbate Governor Rizalina Lanete told Sun.Star Cebu that she is saddened by Bahinting’s death as well.
She said someone was bitten by a cobra in Masbate on Thursday but
they have no one like Bahinting, who offered the use of his aircraft to
transport the anti-venom from Camiguin for free.
The governor said they eventually found an anti-venom within Masbate.
One of Aviatour’s pilots is Nigerian national Habib David Yakubo, who
transported the anti-venom from Camiguin to Cebu to treat a Cebu City
Zoo worker who got bitten by a cobra.

The group has performed steadily with hotel operations generating P2 billion, a big increase of 45.95 percent from 2010’s P1.93 billion,” he said.
“Rooms contributed 30 percent of P607.41 million, while F&B (food and beverage) put in a share of 29 percent or P584.01 million. Group average room rate was at P1,907.00 while average revenue per available room (revPAR) was at P1,183.11.”
He said they achieved growth by stimulating growth through aggressive promotions in non-tradional channels like the Internet as well as increasing customer satisfaction by improving their products.
“Our innovative efforts to counteract dwindling tourism figures and create interest in our markets, both existing and potential one, have allowed us to stay afloat. We continue to drive our marketing efforts along both offline and online channels. Offline, we continue to expand our distribution channels by forming significant partnerships with numerous travel agencies, and forging stronger relationships with our partners this year,” said Gatchalian.
They also introduced the use of QR codes in promotion collaterals enhancing the customer experience, making it more exciting through the use of this popular technology, creation of an official E-newsletter to provide timely news and information to their clients and promoting their hotels in a new way and getting real-time response to out promos as well as further enhancing their web services.
He said that online bookings contributed 22 percent of total hotel revenue in 2011.
“Some properties outperformed others,with Waterfront Cebu City Hotel and Casino leading the pack with P58.80 million of online sales, followed by Manila Pavilion Hotel (WPI) with P35.80 million,” he said.
Other properties also generated significant returns: Waterfront Airport Hotel and Casino with P18.03 million, G Hotel with P12.07 million and Waterfront Insular Hotel Davao with P10.69 million.
Overall, online sales represent one of their most promising areas of growth.
“It is our goal to aggressively focus on this frontier area,” said Gatchalian.
The P300-million major renovation covering three phases of its flagship hotel Waterfront Cebu City Hotel and Casino started in the first quarter of last year.

Air travel has become more attractive to people because the rate is
just a little over than the bus rate in addition to shorter travel time
and lesser transportation expense,” Alfonso said.
From January to June 2011, the region’s premier airport recorded some 505,217 incoming and outgoing passengers, 20 percent lower than this year’s volume, Caap records show.
In 2011, the airport hit the one-million mark for the first time with 1,015,797 passengers.
Cebu Pacific, which is known for air fare promos, has flown 486,288 passengers last year, nearly half of the total volume.
Higher traffic was noted, particularly in the peak months of April and May this year, with 115,857 and 121, 875 passengers, respectively.
Number of flights posed a 23-percent growth from 4,250 in the first semester of 2011 to 5,220 during the same period this year.
As of this month, 13 Manila-bound and Cebu-bound commercial aircrafts use the Tacloban Airport on a daily bases. Two more aircrafts utilize the facility five days and six days weekly.
The steady rise of travelers’ traffic has posed challenges to Caap - the need for bigger airport terminal space and upgraded facilities. The existing departure lounge area is only 300-seater, only half of the requirement during peak hours.
“The design is not enough to accommodate current passenger movement. We have to expand the floor area. It should be proportionate to the existing requirements,” Alfonso added.

This developed as at least seven Air Philippines Express flights were
temporarily diverted to the Clark International Airport earlier in the
day due to heavy rains and windy conditions in the vicinity of the Ninoy
Aquino International Airport.
Diverted were flights 2P 990 from General Santos City, 2P 940 from Ozamis City, 2P 092 from Cauayan in Isabela, 2P 046 from Caticlan, 2P 030 from Catarman in Northern Samar, 2P 026 from Legazpi City and 2P 970 from Kalibo—all of which were supposed to arrive at the NAIA Terminal 3 between 9 a.m. and 11 a.m.
The seven flights eventually arrived at NAIA between 11 a.m. and 4 p.m.
Operations in the other three terminals were normal. At Terminal 2, Philippine Airlines cancelled flight PR 336 to the Pu Dong International Airport in Shanghai, China, which was supposed to arrive at 11:30 a.m. The return trip, PR 337, set to leave at 7 p.m. was also cancelled.
How about a policy of free rebooking when our government treats us like slaves and offloads filipinos who they suspect are going overseas to 'work'. Oh the horror of it all, how can these criminals dare to travel without paying some government trapos operating an 'approved' employment agency?

The rise in expenses was attributed to flying operation expenses
climbing 28.1 percent to P10.5 billion in the first half from P8.2
billion in same period last year. Aircraft and traffic servicing
expenses increased 15.4 percent because international flights, for which
landing and take-off fees and ground-handling charges are significantly
higher compared with domestic flights, went up 11.0 percent from 2011.
In addition, the company’s repair and maintenance expenses went up 35.2 percent to P1.619 billion from P1.197 billion in the same period last year mainly due to the overall increase in the number of flights.
Fuel hedging gains of P27.193 million in the six months to June 30 resulted from the higher mark-to-market valuation on fuel hedging positions following the increase in fuel prices from the end of 2011.
As of June 30, the company operated an extensive network serving 52 domestic routes and 28 international routes with a total of 1,885 scheduled weekly flights.
Cebu Pacific operates from four hubs, including the Ninoy Aquino International Airport Terminal 3 in Pasay City; Mactan-Cebu International Airport in Lapu-Lapu City, part of Metropolitan Cebu; Diosdado Macapagal International Airport in Clark, Pampanga; and Davao International Airport in Davao City.
The company operates a fleet of 38 aircraft comprising 10 Airbus A319s, 20 Airbus A320s, and eight ATR 72-500s.
