Philippine Airlines (PAL) is expanding its Pacific network with the launch of direct flights between Manila and Palau (Koror) beginning March 29, 2026. The flag carrier will operate twice-weekly services, providing seamless connections for travelers from major Asian cities and key Philippine destinations via PAL’s Manila hub.
“This new Pacific route will boost tourism among beach enthusiasts and the global diving community,” said PAL President Richard Nuttall. “Passengers can look forward to world-class service and the signature heartfelt care that Philippine Airlines is known for.”
Koror serves as the main gateway to Palau’s famed natural wonders, including pristine lagoons, rich coral reefs, and world-renowned dive spots. With its close proximity to the Philippines, Palau becomes an attractive and accessible addition to PAL’s growing route network—supporting efforts to promote unique travel experiences and strengthen regional tourism.
To celebrate the route’s launch, PAL is offering introductory fares starting at USD 499 roundtrip for economy base fare and USD 1,239 for business class base fare. The promo runs until December 18 for travel beginning March 29, 2026 onward.
Flights from Manila will depart every Wednesday and Sunday at 10:15 PM, arriving in Koror at 2:00 AM local time. Return flights from Koror to Manila will operate every Monday and Thursday, departing at 3:10 AM and arriving at 4:55 AM. The service will utilize PAL’s 199-seater dual-class Airbus A321ceo, ensuring comfort and convenience throughout the journey.
The new Manila–Palau flights complement PAL’s existing route to Guam, expanding travel options for both leisure and business passengers across the Western Pacific region.
