PAL Express intl flights to and from Singapore, HK to use NAIA2

Starting Monday, April 1, Philippine Airlines Express international flights to and from two international destinations will use the Ninoy Aquino International Airport.

 

In a post on its Twitter account, PAL said this will apply to its flights between Manila and Singapore and Manila and Hong Kong.

 

"Effective April 1, 2013. PAL Express international flights for Manila-Singapore and Manila-Hong Kong will depart and arrive at NAIA Terminal 2," it said.

 

PAL Express was Air Philippines (AirPhil) Express.

 

Last March 15, it said it is "further strengthening" its alliance with PAL and "improving and aligning its service standards and product offerings" with those of PAL.

 

"Reflecting this change, Airphil Express will rebrand itself as 'PAL Express' effective March 15, 2013. All Airphil Express planes will use the familiar 'sunriser' PAL livery and logo on its tail and fuselage," it said.

 

Passengers of PAL Express can also earn miles through their membership in Mabuhay Miles, it added.

 

But PAL said it and PAL Express will "remain distinct and independent airline companies but following a single service standard."

 

"All PAL flights will be manned by PAL pilots and cabin crew, while PAL Express flights will be operated by Airphil Express pilots and flight attendants," it added.  — ELR, GMA News
