Each route will run three times weekly, with departures scheduled every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. Corresponding return flights originating from Bangkok (Don Mueang) and Singapore back to Iloilo are scheduled to operate three times weekly every Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday beginning 24 November 2026.
