DAVAO CITY – The Philippine Airlines (PAL) expanded its operation in Davao City to accommodate more travellers and its adjacent municipalities and provinces.
PAL President and COO Jaime Bautista said the opening of the new branch is a manifestation of their commitment to continue serving their riding passengers from Davao and the adjoining towns.
He said PAL now has three branches in Davao City, which is its busiest route with eight daily flights from Manila and two to three flights daily to Cebu.“We are planning to expand operations in Davao although we already started the Davao-Tagbiliran route,” he said, adding, PAL is also planning to operate a Davao-Siargao route as the airline firm eyes to increase its presence from Davao to more destinations in Luzon, Visayas, and Mindanao.
As this developed, he said PAL is expecting the delivery of two brand new 777 300 ER aircrafts this December that would fly from Manila to US, London, and Canada. “This will allow us to operate non-stop flights with these aircrafts that are equipped with the most modern in-flight entertainment system,” Bautista said.
Davao City Mayor Sara Duterte Carpio lauded the expansion of PAL in the city. She cited the airline company’s expanding business in Davao City and the growing business in the Philippines. She said Dabawenyos are working hard that “our city become competitive and will be put in the map in the ASEAN community and not just the Philippine community.” (Digna Banzon)
