Philippine Airlines (PAL) is launching a direct service connecting Manila and Palau (Koror) starting March 29, 2026.
The twice-a-week offering will use the 199-seater dual-class Airbus A321ceo.
Flights from Manila are scheduled every Wednesday and Sunday, departing at 10:15 PM and arriving in Palau at 2:00 AM local time. Return flights from Palau operate on Mondays and Thursdays, taking off at 3:10 AM local time and landing in Manila at 4:55 AM.
The new route complements PAL’s existing Western Pacific service to Guam.
“Creating flights to this Pacific island will stimulate tourism travel among beach lovers and the diving community. Travelers can expect world-class service on board their flights combined with Philippine Airlines’ renowned Filipino heartfelt care,” PAL president Richard Nuttall said in a statement.
The service will strengthen PAL’s presence in the Pacific region, the flag carrier said.
Koror is the gateway to Palau’s marine attractions, boasting vibrant dive sites, crystal-clear lagoons, and thriving coral reefs. PAL said its proximity and ease of access position to Palau is an attractive addition to PAL’s network, reinforcing its commitment to expanding routes that deliver unique experiences and drive tourism growth.
To mark this new service, PAL is offering special introductory fares starting at $499 roundtrip economy base fare and $1,239 roundtrip business class base fare until December 18, for travel beginning March 29.
