PAL Express
Posted on 23. Apr, 2008 by Lakwatsero in News
To meet the increasing demand of the traveling public for a high-quality carrier offering low fares, Philippine Airlines is launching a new, low-fares unit that will operate a fleet of turbo propeller aircraft to mostly domestic island points under the name “PAL Express”.
PAL’s move will help boost trade and tourism, particularly to our smaller and farther islands, thus providing a much-needed lift to the local economy of these communities.
PAL will acquire nine turbo-props –three Bombardier Q300s and six Q400s – to comprise PAL Express’ initial fleet, which will be based, mainly in Cebu. Some flights will also operate out of Manila. PAL Express will primarily fly intra-regional routes in Visayas and Mindanao from its Cebu hub, as well as secondary routes to smaller airports in island provinces that are not able to accommodate PAL’s regular jet aircraft.
PAL Express is scheduled to take off on May 5, 2008 with eight flights daily between Manila and Boracay. Services ramp up dramatically on May 19, when PAL Express’ Cebu-hub operations commence with flights between Cebu and five points in Visayas and Mindanao. To introduce these new services, PAL Express is offering a promotional fare of P88 (excluding taxes and surcharges) for one-way flights between Cebu and Bacolod, Caticlan, Tacloban, Butuan and General Santos.
The special fare can be availed of until May 18, 2008 and is for travel from May 19 to August 15, 2008 only. For booking you may go to their site: www.palexpressair.com.

May nabalitaan ako from other blog na magkakaroon na daw ng flight ang PAL Express between Cebu and Calbayog soon; not sure for Catarman… Hope this is true… Para mabilis na ang pagpunta sa Cebu at Samar.

Also if anyone is planning to go to Boracay, try going there with our brand new Q300 aircraft(The one in the picture above), I personally love that aircraft above because I was there when it was born and when it first conquered the sky! I was even in it during it’s 5′th Test Flight! Enjoy! Enjoy! Enjoy!

Are they pushing thru with the Manila – Ormoc route this month? Any updates?
Im visiting Ormoc in September and would like to take my connection from Paris in Manila so the flight to Ormoc would be a big advantage as it takes me there direct without the hassle of stopping by in Tacloban or Cebu.
Thanks.
