Aviation Updates Philippines – Philippine Airlines has further delayed the official inaugural date of the
Manila-Perth service resumption to late-October this year due to
restrictions amid COVID-19.
Although flight schedules are subject to changes while the situation
unfolds, reservations for the first flight to Perth, Australia are available
through
www.philippineairlines.com
from October 26, 2020, onward. Hopefully, by this time, things return to
normal.
The Perth-bound sector, PR-223, will be scheduled to depart from Manila at
12:05 am local time and to arrive in Perth at 7:20 am local time. PR-224
will then depart from Perth at 8:40 am local time and arrive back in Manila
at 3:50 pm local time.
PAL's Airbus A321-271N, specifically designed and configured for long-haul
narrowbody operations, will be utilized for the flight to Australia every
Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday.
Similarly, the flag carrier has also deferred anew the planned Cebu-Los
Angeles service resumption to June 2, 2020. The launch was originally
scheduled on May 2, 2020, which has since been postponed.
Take note, flights from June 1, 2020, and beyond are not yet final while the
airline continues to evaluate its route network post-COVID-19. As safety
remains foremost, these may even be delayed or be brought forward depending
on the travel appetite.
"We caution you that these plans are highly subject to change, depending on
COVID-19 conditions: the duration of community quarantines, the status of
travel bans and restrictions imposed by various governments and their impact
on passenger demand, and above all on the public health and safety situation
in each of the countries that PAL serves," PAL said in an advisory.
