Caticlan to Boracay cable car mulled

DOTr is studying on linking Caticlan to Boracay via cable car system.

KALIBO, Aklan - The Department of Transportation (DOTr) plans to set up a cable car system linking Caticlan airport and Boracay island.

Aside from being a tourist attraction in itself, the cable car will reduce travel time from the Caticlan airport to the island cutting short the need for land transfer, boat and another land transfer.

At present, from Caticlan Airport, one has to take a take tricycle or a van to catch a boat from the jetty port then another ride which altogether would take more than an hour.

“That’s the plan being studied,” Cherie Mercado DOTr spokesperson wrote in a text message, on the proposed cable car link. The DOTr plans to tap the French government to fund the feasibility study for the project. [via Kalibo International Airport Facebook]
