PAL flights reach 40% of pre-pandemic levels

Philippine Airlines (PAL) is cautiously optimistic as its flight operations reach 40 percent of its pre-pandemic frequencies, with an average of 120 domestic and international flights per day.

The flag carrier anticipates a surge in travel demand and is gradually restoring its network, mindful of prevailing restrictions and market-driven demand.

PAL has resumed weekly international flights to key destinations including Los Angeles, San Francisco, New York, Honolulu, Guam, Toronto, Vancouver, London, Singapore, Bangkok, Jakarta, and Phnom Penh.

Other international destinations served by PAL include Auckland, Brisbane, Melbourne, Sydney, Kuala Lumpur, Hanoi, Ho Chi Minh City, Seoul, Tokyo, Fukuoka, Osaka, Nagoya, Hong Kong, Taipei, Dubai, Dammam, Riyadh, and Doha.

PAL advises passengers to check the website of their country-of-destination for the latest updates on travel requirements which are adjusted periodically.
