PAL to move turboprop flights to Clark starting March 29

Flag carrier Philippine Airlines (PAL) on Monday announced it will reroute its turboprop operations from Manila to Clark, following the mandated transition of such services out of Ninoy Aquino International Airport (NAIA).

In an advisory, PAL said flights to and from Busanga, Siargao, Antique, and Catarman will be rerouted to Clark starting March 29, 2026, in line with the timeline set by the Manila Slot Coordination Committee (MSCC).

Passengers booked on affected flights will receive updated itineraries, with options for rebooking, rerouting, or refund as needed.

“With the mandated transition of turboprop services out of NAIA, PAL will introduce domestic jet frequencies beginning March 2026, expanding capacity on high-demand routes and providing passengers with more travel options,” the advisory read.

Expanded weekly services will include trips from Manila to Clark with up to 76 flights, Dumaguete up to 21, Iloilo up to 42, Roxas up to 14, and Tacloban up to 28 flights.—MCG, GMA Integrated News
