Provincial officials and members of various multi-sectoral groups of the province are now discussing plans at the capitol seeking regular plane flights from Manila to Ilocos Sur and vice versa.
The meeting initiated by Governor Luis Chavit Singson aims to request existing airline companies to open regular flights to Vigan and vice versa in support of trade and tourism.
