PAL to increase Manila-Antique flights to thrice weekly

Philippine Airlines (PAL) will increase its flights between Manila and Antique to three times weekly starting March 27, responding to rising market demand and eased travel restrictions.

The flights will operate every Wednesday, Friday, and Sunday morning.

Governor Rhodora J. Cadiao stated that the additional flights will accommodate more returning residents and boost the province's economic recovery.

She also added that this is proof that investors and businesses continue to believe in the province despite the pandemic.

The increased flight frequency is attributed to good passenger load, with PAL's 80-person capacity flights often carrying 60 or more passengers.

PAL launched its maiden flight to Antique on December 16, 2018, and remains the sole airline carrier serving the province.
