Philippine Airlines (PAL) took to the skies on March 15, 1941, laying claim to the distinction of Asia’s first airline. It has a rich seven-decade history steeped in tradition and modernity. As the pioneer national flag carrier of the Republic of the Philippines, PAL showcases the best of the Filipino people and the country – warm hospitality, refreshing smiles, attentive service and an eagerness to please the passenger/customer as though a personal house guest.

From its modern hubs at the Centennial Terminal 2 of the Ninoy Aquino International Airport in Manila and the Mactan International Airport in Cebu, PAL serves 45 destinations – 20 domestic and 25 international points in 13 countries and territories.

PAL code-share arrangements allowing PAL to add more domestic and international points to its route network.

PAL operates an all-jet fleet of 38 aircraft – five Boeing 747-400s, two Boeing 777-300ERs, four Airbus 340-300s, eight Airbus 330-300s, 15 Airbus 320-200s and four Airbus 319s – all meticulously maintained by one of the region's best aircraft maintenance service providers – Lufthansa Technik Philippines. The two-class configured A320 and A319 jets make PAL the only Philippine carrier offering business-class service in the domestic market.

Upgrades in the fleet and cabin amenities, complemented by world-class aircraft maintenance, enable PAL to keep its flights flying on schedule and on time – achieving a consistent record of above-standard schedule reliability and on-time performance.

From Kuala Lumpur, PAL allow four times daily connection VIA Singapore to Manila and beyond including code sharing with Malaysian Airlines two times daily Kuala Lumpur and Manila direct.
