PAL increases capacity in-time for the holiday season

Philippine Airlines (PAL) continues to ramp up its capacity in order to accommodate travelers and vacationists this Christmas and New Year season. Despite the pandemic and travel restrictions, many balikbayans are really making sure to fly back to the Philippines or to go home to their provinces to be with their families.

As such, PAL has adjusted its flight schedule for the months of December in order to accomodate the influx of Filipino travelers. While the number is still far below to the travel demand in 2019, hopefully this would be a start where the aviation industry picks-up its pace towards recovery.

If you will also notice in the schedule, more daily flights were added to the list such as Hong Kong, Riyadh, and Osaka to name a few.
