Flag carrier Philippine Airlines (PAL), which is in its 82nd year, announced on Wednesday that it has intentions to keep growing its service offerings, particularly now that the sector is recovering from the epidemic.

One of these improvements is that PAL will keep expanding its cargo services, which, according to Stanley Ng, the airline’s president, kept the company afloat during the coronavirus disease 2019 (Covid-19) pandemic. At the height of the pandemic, PAL deployed its fleet in addition to cargo services to transport Covid vaccinations and repatriation flights.

“Our upcoming Port-to-Door Service will allow cargo customers to have their items delivered to them without any fuss. We are pleased with this innovation since it will benefit SMEs (small and medium-sized businesses) “At a press conference, he remarked.

According to Ng, the new service will streamline and simplify delivery to the final mile.

Furthermore planned is the expansion of communication between islands and globally.

Starting on March 27, nonstop flights between Manila and Perth, Australia will be available.

Ng did not give a specific date but said that daily flights would restart in April between Seoul, South Korea, and Kalibo, in the province of Aklan. He also added that PAL would start operating regular flights between Manila and Macau and would increase service to Beijing, China, from three to six times per week by May.

The choice to invest in these nonstop flights will allow us to promote tourism and bring in more foreign tourists to enjoy our local landmarks as well as some of the best beaches and adventure spots in the globe, according to Ng.

PAL will increase its activity in Clark by April. Starting on April 1, Caticlan, Coron, and Busuanga will be served by three to four flights each week via Clark. In addition to the Clark-Cebu-Clark routes, PAL currently operates daily flights between Clark and Incheon, South Korea.

According to the executive, PAL has already resumed all of its pre-pandemic flights via Manila and Cebu.

A further strong market recovery is anticipated, according to PAL Director Lucio Tan III, and as a result, efforts are being made to update and improve the fleet.

He added, “We’re bringing back some of the aircraft we abandoned during the Chapter 11 restructuring,” noting that an Airbus A330 was returned to PAL in January of last year and that efforts are being made to recover the remaining aircraft.

According to Tan, PAL is reactivating more of the planes that were idle during the epidemic, and all of them will resume operations by the end of the third quarter.

“We are implementing improvements to our widebody fleet. Although the expansion of our fleet will need significant investments, we are adamant about making the necessary moves to make sure that PAL provides a dependable and competitive product that responds to our market “said Tan.
