Flights from Bantayan (BTY) to Cebu (CEB) are scheduled to depart at 9:25 AM on Mondays and Thursdays.

Important Note

Please be informed that flights between Cebu and Bantayan are non-refundable and non-rebookable. This policy is set by the charter company, and as a reseller, we are required to follow it.

Kindly also note that flight schedules may change without prior notice, as these are solely managed by the charter operator. Flights may also be cancelled without prior warning — even if you have already received your flight voucher. Cancellations can occur for safety reasons, such as unfavorable weather conditions (the runway on Bantayan Island is relatively short), as well as due to operational issues on the part of the charter company. In case the flight is cancelled, a refund can be provided within up to 2 months. The process may take longer because the charter company is not accustomed to using online banking or online payment systems.

You are encouraged to review the Air Passenger’s Bill of Rights and the carrier’s Terms and Conditions here: Terms and Conditions.

Please arrive at the airport at least 2 hours before departure. Considering the required waiting time before departure, the short flight, and—if you have luggage—the waiting time after arrival, the total travel time may still take around 3 hours. For a more dependable alternative, you may wish to book a private transfer: Private Transfer Cebu to Bantayan.

SYKE Travel & Tours acts solely as a reseller of these flights and therefore assumes no responsibility for the safety, operation, or performance of the air service; all operational and safety-related responsibilities rest exclusively with the charter company and the operator.

We (SYKE Travel & Tours) offer these flights only because we are the only DOT-accredited travel agency in Santa Fe (Bantayan Island) and are responsible for the online marketing of our beautiful Bantayan Island. For a more convenient, flexible, and reliable way to travel to and from Bantayan Island, we recommend booking our private transfer service here: Private Transfer Cebu to Bantayan.

If you have a connecting flight to or from Cebu, we strongly recommend using our reliable private transfer service: Private Transfer Cebu to Bantayan.

Ecological Note

Small charter flights are fast, but they also have a disproportionately large climate impact per passenger when compared with road transfers. An ATR-72 on a short (~30-minute) Cebu–Bantayan hop produces roughly 15–55 kg CO₂ per passenger depending on how full the aircraft is; a shared private transfer plus ferry is typically lower (≈10–35 kg CO₂ per passenger). In other words, where sustainability matters, choosing a shared private transfer (or combining passengers in one vehicle) usually results in a smaller environmental footprint than taking a lightly-filled charter flight.
