MANILA, Sept. 16 (PNA) — Flag carrier Philippine Airlines (PAL) on Wednesday announced that it has increased frequencies between Manila and Sydney, Australia by shifting from the current five weekly frequencies to daily flights.

PAL said that starting Oct. 25, flights would depart Manila at 10:05 p.m. via PR 211 every Tuesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday, arriving Sydney at 9:30 a.m (AUS time) the following day. PR 213 departs Manila at 11 a.m. every Monday, Wednesday and Sunday, arriving Sydney at 10:25 p.m. (AUS time).

Flights from Sydney will meanwhile depart at 6:10 a.m (AUS time) every Monday, Tuesday and Thursday via PR 214 arriving in Manila at 11:25 a.m. During the rest of the week – Wednesday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday – flights from Sydney depart at 11:15 a.m. (AUS time) via PR 212, arriving in Manila at 4:30 p.m.

Aside from Sydney, PAL’s presence in Australia covers Darwin, Brisbane and Melbourne. Flights to Cairns and Auckland, which will be launched in December this year, marks the expansion of PAL flights in the Oceania region

PAL President & Chief Operating Officer Jaime J. Bautista, in a statement, welcomed the airline company’s increase in frequencies between the two countries.

“A daily frequency with a choice of departure and arrival times provides our passengers the flexibility to seamlessly connect to many cities on PAL’s domestic and international network,” Bautista said.

“Upon arrival in Manila, Australian business and leisure travelers can enjoy a Manila stopover for several days or make a same-day connection on PAL flights to the many travel spots within the Philippine archipelago,” he added.

PAL is slated to celebrate the 50th anniversary of its Sydney operations on Oct. 6 with PAL’s Manila–based and Australia-based officials leading a set of anniversary activities to celebrate one of PAL’s longest–running operations, which began on Oct. 6, 1965.

PAL President& COO Jaime Bautista, Commercial Group Head, Sr. Vice President David Lim and Vice President for Sales Ryan Uy are slated to fly in from Manila to join the Sydney celebration. They will be joined by PAL Country Manager – Australia Ian Robinson. (PNA)
