Philippine Airlines has resumed its Clark-Basco route. In ceremonies held at Clark International Airport (CRK) the flag carrier officially re-launched its Clark-Basco service, which will have a frequency of 4 times a week.

PAL Express President Rabbi Vincent Ang expressed joy in the return of the Clark-Basco service, which, he said is a “most sought after domestic route.”

“It gives us great pride to meet the demand for flights out of Central Luzon, a strategic gateway to Northern, Central and Southern Philippines. Today, we celebrate the return of our Clark – Basco service, which allows Basco residents to access opportunities for leisure travel and discover other beautiful attractions across the country. This returning service also allows Central Luzon residents, business and leisure travelers to fly to picturesque Basco,” Ang said.

PAL flies the Clark-Basco route on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Fridays and Sundays via PR 2688, which leaves CRK at 11am, and arrives in Basco at 12:35 PM. Meanwhile, the Basco-Clark route via PR2689 flies on the same days, departing Basco at 1 PM, and arriving in Clark at 2:35 PM.

The direct service to picturesque Basco complements PAL’s daily Manila–Basco service.

“From Clark, we also operate daily flights to Cebu, thrice weekly flights to Caticlan (Boracay), and four times weekly flights to Busuanga (Coron). We are optimizing our operations out of Manila and Cebu and we will progressively work on more flights out of Clark,” Ang explained.
