According to PAL Spokesperson Cielo Villaluna, the flag carrier would now
offer eight weekly flights from Davao to Manila. Meanwhile, there would be
three weekly flights from Manila to Davao—that is aside from scheduled
all-cargo services between the two cities.
Effective October 3, the following PAL flights will be available for the
Davao-Manila sector:
- PR-1810 (departure: 6:30am; arrival: 8:30am) operating every Tuesday, Wednesday, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday
- PR-1814 (departure: 1:05pm; arrival: 2:55pm) operating every Monday and Thursday
- PR-1818 (departure: 4:00pm; arrival: 6:00pm) operating every Saturday
Effective October 3, the following PAL flights will be available for
the Manila-Davao sector:
- PR-1813 (departure: 10:15am; arrival: 12:05pm) operating every Monday and Thursday
- PR-1817 (departure 1:25pm; arrival: 3:20pm) operating every Saturday
Aside from these scheduled passenger trips, the company will also ramp
up cargo services between Manila and Davao with five weekly flights
scheduled early morning. PR-1809 departs from Manila at 3:55 am and
arrives in Davao at 5:35 am every Tuesday, Wednesday, Friday, Saturday
and Sunday.
Davao-bound passengers are required to secure a negative RT-PCR test
result issued at least 72 hours before the flight, a travel authority, a
medical certificate and a valid ID. However, a passenger may still board
a flight to Davao without an RT-PCR test result but will need to undergo
the swab test at Davao Airport upon arrival.
On the other hand, Manila-bound passengers must secure a travel
authority and a medical certificate issued by the local government unit
and present these upon check-in for the flight.
In a recent ranking from Safe Travel Barometer, PAL ranked ninth out of
more than 150 airlines worldwide for its COVID-19 measures implemented
throughout the flight. The airline gained an overall score of 4.2 out of
5, making it the only Philippine carrier to emerge in the top 10.
