Philippine Airlines (PAL) is expanding its Clark hub network by reopening flights between Clark and Siargao starting December 3, 2024.
PAL’s thrice weekly Clark-Siargao-Clark direct service “will provide ease and convenience for residents of Central and Northern Luzon, as there is no need to go as far as to Manila by land to connect to Siargao,” the flag carrier said in a statement.
The service operates every Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday. PAL flight PR 2875 departs from Clark International Airport (CRK) at 11:00 AM, arriving in Siargao at 01:05 PM, while the return flight, PR 2876, departs from Siargao at 01:35 PM, arriving in CRK at 03:40 PM.
“We are excited to be able to fly and welcome leisure travelers back to Siargao via Clark once again,” said PAL Express president Rabbi Vincent Ang.
“As Siargao’s popularity soars, we stay committed to supporting the island’s tourism growth in a sustainable way for the benefit of its residents and local businesses, while providing an enhanced flying experience for our passengers,” Ang added.
Dubbed the “Surfing Capital of the Philippines,” Siargao Island was named the Conde Nast Traveler readers’ choice for best island in Asia. Home to a thriving community of 120,000 residents, Siargao is one of the most sought-after holiday destinations known for crystal clear beaches, white sand islets, hidden lagoons and tide pools, along with a host of recreational activities and fun-filled tour packages.
Noel Manankil, president and chief executive officer of CRK operator Luzon International Premiere Airport Development Corp., said: “Siargao enthusiasts can anticipate beginning their island getaway immediately upon arrival at Clark International Airport, where we practice stringent performance measures and monitoring to ensure fast airport processes and a seamless experience for all passengers.”
The Clark-Siargao service will be utilizing the 86-seater De Havilland Dash 8-400 Next Generation aircraft.
Siargao joins PAL’s growing hub at CRK, where PAL now offers daily flights to Cebu, four weekly flights each to Basco and Busuanga (Coron), and thrice weekly flights to Caticlan (Boracay).
PAL said the new Clark-Siargao service also complements its existing twice daily flights to Siargao from Manila and Cebu, for a total PAL service of 31 weekly flights to Siargao.
