Philippine flag carrier Philippine Airlines announced earlier today, 4th December, its plan to launch direct services between Manila and Koror, Palau from 29th March 2026.
The twice-weekly services from Manila will be scheduled for Wednesday and Sunday, while flights from Palau will operate every Monday and Thursday; both of which will be flown using the 199-seater dual-class Airbus A321ceo.
In a statement released to the media, airline president Richard Nuttall declared: “Creating flights to this Pacific island will stimulate tourism travel among beach lovers and the diving community.”
It should be noted that the new route complements PAL’s existing Western Pacific service to Guam, thus expanding travel opportunities for both leisure and business passengers across the region.
