Philippine Airlines exhibits at ITB Asia for the third time under the flagship booth of Philippine Tourism Promotion Board, where it announces several new routes to the international travel trade.
Philippines Airlines is launching new flights to Auckland via Cairns from Manila on 2 December 2015 and to Port Moresby on 18 December 2015 using its Airbus A320 aircraft.
On 2 December (Wednesday), Philippine Airlines flight PR218 leaves Manila for Cairns at 11.15 pm, arrives in Cairns at 7.30 am before departing from Cairns at 8.30 am and touching down in Auckland at 4.30 pm.
At 7.30 pm, flight PR219 takes off from Auckland for Cairns at 7.30 pm, arrives in Cairns at 10.30 pm before leaving Cairns at 11.30 pm and returning to Manila at 3.30 am on 3 December.
Philippine Airlines will operate on the routes four times a week, on Sundays, Mondays, Wednesdays and Thursdays.
Philippine Airlines President and Chief Operating Officer Jaime J. Bautista said, "The route will stimulate passenger traffic along three travel streams - Manila and Cairns, Manila and Auckland as well as Cairns and Auckland. The new service allows PAL to cater to the travel needs of business and leisure travelers and showcase its distinct brand of service marked by Filipino warmth, charm and hospitality. With close to 40,000 Filipinos residing in New Zealand, the new service is their convenient link to their home country-the Philippines."
"Upon arrival in Manila, passengers may enjoy the capital city for a few days then connect to any of the 67 other destinations (30 domestic and 37 international) in the PAL network. In the long term, the service will drive traffic between Southeast Asia and New Zealand,” he added.
Philippine Airlines is resuming direct scheduled flights between Manila and Port Moresby from 18 December 2015 with flight PR215 departing from Manila for Port Moresby at 2.10 am, arriving in Port Moresby at 9.20 am before leaving Port Moresby at 10.10 am and touching down in Manila at 1.20 pm under PR216. Flights are operated twice every week on Fridays and Sundays.
Besides the new routes to Cairns, Auckland and Port Moresby, Philippine Airlines is code-sharing with Fly Dubai, the low-cost airline of the United Arab Emirates headquartered in Dubai, on the latter's daily scheduled flight between Dubai and Kuwait, namely flights FZ59 (departing from Dubai at 10.55 pm, arriving in Kuwait at 11.45 pm) and FZ54 (leaving Kuwait at 8.30 am and touching down in Dubai at 11.15 am).
Philippine Airlines has deferred plans to operate on the routes to Kuwait and Jeddah via Dubai on its own from 2 December to 16 December 2015, subject to regulatory approval.
According to the airline at ITB Asia 2015, Philippine Airlines flight PR658 departs on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays to Jeddah at 10 pm, arrives in Jeddah at 8.25 am via Dubai effective 16 December before leaving on Wednesdays, Fridays and Sundays under PR659 at 2.15 pm from Jeddah and arriving in Manila at 8.20 am local time starting 17 December.
