Philippine Airlines is all set to resume flights to mainland China after a COVID induced hiatus of almost three years.
Stanley Ng, PAL president and chief operating officer, said: “We are forging ahead with the restoration of PAL's Greater China flight network, an investment that will strengthen our connections to the economic hubs in the mainland and help boost bilateral relations between the Filipino and Chinese people.”
"We hope that our relaunch of flights to Beijing and Shanghai will help fuel a rebound in tourist and business travel. Our goal is to once again operate the largest network of flights on multiple routes between mainland China and the Philippines," he added.
The direct flights to Shanghai started from yesterday while the Beijing route will be resumed from next week.
