PHILIPPINE Airlines (PAL) and PAL Express are aligning their schedules on the Manila-Kuala Lumpur route to offer daily services between the two carriers, following PAL Express’ recent rebranding (TTG Asia e-Daily, March 18, 2013).
While PAL is due to commence a four-times-weekly service between Kuala Lumpur and Manila on May 2, PAL Express – which already operates this sector – will change its flight days and retime its thrice-weekly flights.
Flights for both airlines will depart Manila at 07.55 and arrive in Kuala Lumpur at 11.40. The return flight will depart Kuala Lumpur at 12.50 and arrive in Manila at 16.40. PAL will use its Airbus A319 aircraft on this route while PAL Express will deploy an A320 aircraft.
Tunku Iskandar, group president of Pacific World Travel, GSA for PAL and PAL Express in Malaysia, said passengers could expect “seamless connections” while travelling on either airline.
“Both PAL and PAL Express will operate from Ninoy Aquino International Airport (NAIA) Centennial Terminal 2, while baggage check-through to the final destination will be provided for all international flights as well as those to major domestic points,” he explained.
