BIZ BUZZ: But more Aussie flights
PAL, however, is building a stronger connection to the land down under.
The flag carrier will start offering daily flights from Manila to Brisbane by Oct. 27, further expanding its Australian network amid the growing air travel demand.
The launch of new route will give the flag carrier the biggest network of flights from the Philippines to Australia, the Lucio Tan-led airline said in a statement on Monday.
“We are poised to intensify efforts to promote tourism between the Philippines and Australia, as we invite more travelers to discover the wonders of our beautiful country,” PAL president and chief operating officer Stanley Ng said.
Currently, PAL operates daily flights to Sydney, five weekly flights to Melbourne and three weekly flights to Perth.
In total, the airline will have 22 weekly flights to Australia by this month.
