Philippine Airlines (PAL) strengthens its Australian presence with an offering of 22 weekly flights to Australia starting next month.

PAL is expanding its popular Manila-Brisbane service to daily flights, introducing a seventh weekly nonstop frequency from Manila to Brisbane from October 27, 2024.

In addition to the daily flights to Brisbane, PAL operates daily flights to Sydney, five weekly flights from Melbourne and three weekly flights from Manila to Perth.

“We at Philippine Airlines are excited to welcome tourists and business travelers onboard our daily flights from Manila to Brisbane, and likewise on our extensive network of nonstop flights to Sydney, Melbourne and Perth,” said PAL President and Chief Operating Officer Capt. Stanley K. Ng. “We are poised to intensify efforts to promote tourism between the Philippines and Australia, as we invite more travelers to discover the wonders of our beautiful country of more than 7,000 islands and the renowned friendliness and hospitality of the Filipino people.”

Philippine Ambassador to Australia Hellen B. De La Vega congratulated PAL for introducing daily direct flights between Manila and Brisbane, adding: “This enhanced connectivity will significantly boost people-to-people exchanges and tourism, and facilitate greater opportunities for trade and investment as the Philippines and Australia advance our Strategic Partnership. I look forward to more opportunities to fortify the relationship with the support of Philippine Airlines.”

Australia Philippines Business Council (APBC) President Rafael Toda said, “This schedule enhancement will aid to strengthen economic ties and collaboration between Australia and the Philippines, boosting productivity and enabling a swifter response to emerging business opportunities.”

Designed by Atelier Almario, the expansive PAL lounge provides a delightful and comfortable experience for dining, preflight work and relaxation, and is open to business class travelers as well as Mabuhay Miles Elite, Premier Elite, and Million Miler passengers.
