PAL realigns turboprop operations; expands domestic jet services

In line with the timelines set under the July 29, 2025, resolution of the Manila Slot Coordination

Committee (MSCC Resolution 2025-02), Philippine Airlines (PAL) advises the public that all PAL turboprop flights currently operating to and from Manila will be discontinued effective March 29, 2026.

Passengers with existing bookings for these flights will be rerouted to PAL’s alternative hubs in Cebu, Clark, and Iloilo, ensuring continued connectivity to affected destinations while maintaining full compliance with updated regulatory requirements.

Passengers will be rerouted as follows:

Manila–Busuanga (Coron)–Manila → Clark–Busuanga (Coron)–Clark

Manila–Siargao–Manila → Clark–Siargao–Clark

Manila–Antique–Manila → Manila–Iloilo–Manila

Manila–Catarman–Manila → Cebu–Catarman–Cebu

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

Expanded weekly services include:

Manila–Cebu: up to 76 flights weekly

Manila–Dumaguete: up to 21 flights weekly

Manila–Iloilo: up to 42 flights weekly

Manila–Roxas: up to 14 flights weekly

Manila–Tacloban: up to 28 flights weekly

Passengers booked on affected flights will receive updated itineraries, with options to rebook, reroute, or request a refund as needed.

• Rebook Ticket: Rebook the ticket in the same cabin class on a flight with available space within 60 days from the original travel date.
• Convert to Travel Credits: Alternatively, passengers may convert the value of their unused ticket into Travel Credits, valid for two years, which can be used for future ticket purchases. As an added incentive, passengers affected by flight disruptions will receive a 5 percent bonus value when converting to Travel Credits.
• Refund Option: If passengers choose not to rebook, they may request a refund for their unused ticket (excluding the ticketing service charge).
