Bilyonaryo Lucio Tan’s Philippine Airlines is expanding its flight schedule to meet the expected increase in travel as the government fast-tracks vaccinations against COVID-19.

Starting late October, PAL will ramp up services to San Francisco, Hong Kong, Los Angeles, Guam, Singapore, Dubai, Doha, Nagoya and Fukuoka while continuing special flights to Auckland, Vietnam and points in Australia.

More flights to Honolulu and Taipei will come online by the last week of November.

PAL’s winter season schedule also includes regular flights to New York JFK, Seoul, Saudi Arabia, Vancouver, Toronto and other Asian destinations.

On domestic routes, PAL is set to add flight frequencies to Iloilo, Legazpi, Butuan, Puerto Princesa, Bacolod, Dumaguete and Roxas City.

PAL’s Cebu hub will see additional frequencies between Cebu and Zamboanga, Cagayan de Oro, Bacolod, Butuan and Davao.

“While demand may not come back to pre-pandemic levels until 2024, we will implement a fleet and network plan that will maintain Philippine Airlines as a market leader in the international and domestic sectors,” said Dexter C. Lee, PAL senior vice president and chief strategy and planning officer.
