Horizon Sun Charters Expands Seaplane Connectivity Across
Palawan
PUERTO PRINCESA, PALAWAN,
Philippines — September 24, 2026 — Reaching some of the Philippines' most
remarkable island destinations can still involve hours of travel by road and
boat after arriving at the airport. Horizon
Sun Charters is working to change that by connecting destinations across
Palawan by seaplane and coordinating the journey from arrival to final
destination.
Operating from Puerto Princesa,
Horizon Sun Charters provides private
seaplane transfers connecting Puerto Princesa, El Nido, Coron and other
destinations across Palawan. Flights can significantly reduce travel time
on routes that would otherwise require long combinations of road and sea
transportation.
But the company's approach goes
beyond the flight itself.
Horizon Sun Charters coordinates
airport pickup, ground transportation, seaplane transfers, boats and resort
connections, as required by the journey. Luggage is coordinated along the way,
and the objective is simple: guests should continue moving toward their
destination without having to organize each individual transfer themselves.
“The Philippines doesn't need
more beautiful destinations. It needs better ways to reach them,” said Captain
Raymond Schwab, founder of Horizon Sun Charters. “For the traveler, it
shouldn't matter whether the journey involves a van, a seaplane or a boat. What
matters is that everything connects and they know someone is taking care of the
journey.”
Connecting Palawan differently
Palawan's geography makes
conventional transportation challenging. Communities, resorts and destinations
are spread along hundreds of kilometers of coastline and across numerous
islands.
Seaplanes provide another way of
connecting these locations because they can operate between suitable waterways
without requiring conventional airport infrastructure at every destination.
Horizon Sun Charters currently
provides private charter access across Palawan, including El Nido, Coron, Port
Barton and selected island and resort destinations.
The company also provides scenic
flights, private charters and customized multi-day seaplane
expeditions throughout the region.
Building an island connectivity network
Horizon Sun Charters sees the
seaplane not simply as an aircraft, but as one component of a wider
transportation network.
The company works with hotels,
resorts, ground transportation providers and boat operators to coordinate the
different stages of a guest's journey.
This approach is particularly
relevant for remote tourism destinations, where improved access can help
visitors reach areas without requiring large-scale road, airport or other
infrastructure development.
“Not every destination needs mass
tourism,” Schwab said. “But destinations do need reliable ways for people to
reach them. We believe better connectivity can help develop tourism while
allowing destinations to remain unique.”
