PAL Back On Line

Philippine Airlines is back on line having deployed two US-bound flights, three regional and two domestic flights on Tuesday, with many more on Wednesday.

The flight deployment came hours after striking members of the PAL Employees Association (PALEA) vacated their posts, thereby allowing PAL volunteers to take over their functions.

A composite team from PAL security, airport services, police and aviation security and the Manila International Airport Authority (MIAA) was able to successfully persuade striking PALEA workers to yield control of PAL’s check in terminals, cargo, catering and ramp areas.

“We thank our passengers for their patience and understanding and for bearing with us during this difficult time. Rest assured that PAL will do everything to ensure that all our passengers will reach their destination safely,” said PAL spokesperson, Cielo Villaluna.

Villaluna explained it will take some time for PAL’s operations to fully normalize but the airline is determined to get back on its feet and move forward. Concerned passengers should contact the airline or their travel agent for the latest information regarding flights.
