Philippine Airlines (PAL) is expanding its Manila-Brisbane service to daily flights, introducing a seventh weekly nonstop frequency from Manila to Brisbane from October 27, 2024.
This will boost the flag carrier’s presence in Australia to 22 weekly flights, PAL said in a statement.
With this, PAL also now has the widest network of flights from the Philippines to four cities in Australia, offering more routes than any other airline.
In addition to the daily flights to Brisbane, PAL operates daily flights to Sydney, five weekly flights from Melbourne and three weekly flights from Manila to Perth.
“We at Philippine Airlines are excited to welcome tourists and business travelers onboard our daily flights from Manila to Brisbane, and likewise on our extensive network of nonstop flights to Sydney, Melbourne and Perth,” said PAL President and Chief Operating Officer Capt. Stanley Ng.
“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 of more than 7,000 islands and the renowned friendliness and hospitality of the Filipino people,” Ng added.
Philippine Ambassador to Australia Hellen De La Vega said PAL’s new daily direct flights “will significantly boost people-to-people exchanges and tourism, and facilitate greater opportunities for trade and investment as the Philippines and Australia advance our Strategic Partnership.”
Australia Philippines Business Council (APBC) president Rafael Toda, for his part, said, “This schedule enhancement will aid to strengthen economic ties and collaboration between Australia and the Philippines, boosting productivity and enabling a swifter response to emerging business opportunities.”
PAL said it continues to enhance services and expand its network, reinforcing its bid to be a key player in international aviation with flights to 36 destinations in Asia, North America, Australia and the Middle East, as well as 32 cities in the Philippines.
