PAL Express Inaugurates Boracay Flights Flies To 22 New Routes

PAL Express, the new, low-fares brand of Philippine Airlines, will serve 22 inter-island routes at the outset, including some provincial points currently without air service or underserved by other players, PAL president Jaime J. Bautista announced today.
“With PAL Express, Philippine Airlines is reassuming its traditional mandate of providing quality, affordable air service to outlaying communities. Such air link has historically acted as spur for the development of these areas.” Said Bautista.
“PAL Express also allows PAL to offer a low-fare yet high value alternative in many trunkline and tourist routes such in Caticlan,” he added during arrival ceremonies of the inaugural PAL Express flight from Manila on May 5.
Other PAL officials on board the maiden flight were Deputy Chief Executive Officer Henry So Uy and Assistant Vice President for Sales Antonio Herrera.
On hand to welcome the delegation were Vice Governor Gabrielle V. Calizo and Atty. Diego M. Luces, members of the Boracay travel trade; and representatives from the media.
