The Bohol Chronicle: King Mswati III of the Kingdom of Swaziland cancelled his trip today to Bohol for lack of landing rights at the Tagbilaran Airport, Gov. Erico B. Aumentado announced yesterday.
The Swazi king is supposed to visit Bohol today with Queen Lankhambule and high ranking officials of the South African kingdom.
Quoting Malacañang sources, Aumentado said the king's private plane, the latest and bigger Boeing 737 model, was not given landing rights by the Air Transportation Office (ATO) for lack of advance paperwork and the obvious risk of landing at the airport's very limited runway and six daily flight schedules of PAL and Cebu Pacific Air.
The king's plane cannot also park for a long time to wait for his flight to Manila to meet President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo because of the six flights daily at the airport.
