Philippine Airlines to Double Canada Flights

Philippine Airlines is hoping to double its flight frequencies to Canada following the successful conclusion of air talks between negotiating panels of both countries.

With the Philippine government panel securing an additional seven flight frequencies per week to Canada, PAL said it will file its manifestation before the Civil Aeronautics Board (CAB) to secure the entitlements.

Once approved by CAB, the entitlements will increase PAL's total flight frequencies per week to Canada from seven to fourteen.

At present, PAL flies seven times weekly to Vancouver and three times weekly to Toronto (via Vancouver).

PAL President and COO Ramon S. Ang said, "With the successful conclusion of the government to government air talks, we look forward to flying twice daily to Canada and offering our passengers greater flexibility and choice.”
