AIR JUAN Aviation, Inc. is preparing to start seaplane services within the first quarter this year to and from its newly opened hub at the South Road Properties in Cebu City. At the seaplane hub launch over the weekend, Air Juan President John Gutierrez said the routes cover Cebu and the islands of Camotes, Candijay (Anda), Gigantes, Kalanggaman, Lakawon, Malapascua, Panglao and Sumilon (Oslob). Mr. Gutierrez said while their rates are higher than sea travel fees, what they offer is a speedier and more convenient ride. “We are not a budget airline but we are the most convenient,” he said. Last June 2017, the company started its Cebu operations with scheduled landplane flights from the Mactan International Airport to Bantayan, Biliran, Maasin, Sipalay, Siquijor and Tagbilaran. Air Juan’s seaplane can accommodate a maximum of nine passengers while its landplane can ride a maximum of 12. — The Freeman
