The Philippine Airlines (PAL) will be flying to eight new domestic routes starting March 29 and making Cebu as the hub.
A PAL executive, speaking on conditions of anonymity, said the airline’s aggressive domestic route expansion will include a daily flight from Davao to Cebu and back and thrice a week flight from Davao to Zamboanga and back.
PAL will fly from Cebu to Davao at 8:40 a.m. and then depart for Cebu from Davao at 10:30 a.m. daily. The airline will also fly from Zamboanga to Davao at 6:25 a.m. and then leave Davao for Zamboanga at 8:20 a.m. every Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday.
The source said the opening up of new routes underscore PAL’s desire to spur economic development in the rural areas.
He said these new routes will also offer passengers new choices every time they fly.
“We want to give quality service to our passengers. We don’t shortchange our passengers,” the PAL executive said,
Other new PAL domestic routes include Cebu-Cagayan de Oro, Tacloban-Cebu, Butuan-Cebu, Cebu-Iloilo, Iloilo-General Santos City and Cebu-Bacolod.
PAL, Asia’s first airline, will be using A320 aircrafts in all these new domestic routes.
