We are connecting to the world’s second -largest economy and enhancing friendly ties between China and the Philippines.
Amid bright aviation and tourism prospects in the region, flag carrier Philippine Airlines reopened its direct flights between Manila and Guangzhou (Canton), the mega-port city and gateway to China’s Pearl River Delta Economic Zone in the industrial heartland of Guangdong province, today, 14 January.
PAL resumed the route with an initial once-weekly flight every Saturday to Guangzhou’s Baiyun International Airport. “We are gearing up for the resumption of regular passenger flights to Mainland China – helping pave the way for the full restoration of our pre-pandemic flight frequencies.
By adding Guangzhou to our roster of operated flights, we are connecting to the world’s second-largest economy and enhancing friendly ties between China and the Philippines,” PAL Vice President for Network Planning Christoph Gaertner said Friday.
