In line with the timelines set under the July 29, 2025 resolution of the Manila Slot Coordination Committee (MSCC Resolution 2025-02), Philippine Airlines (PAL) advises the public that all PAL turboprop flights currently operating to and from Manila will be discontinued effective March 29, 2026.
Passengers with existing bookings will be re-routed to PAL’s alternative hubs in Cebu, Clark, and Iloilo to ensure continued connectivity to affected destinations while maintaining full compliance with updated regulatory requirements.
Updated flight routing:
✈️ Manila–Busuanga (Coron)–Manila → Clark–Busuanga (Coron)–Clark
✈️ Manila–Siargao–Manila → Clark–Siargao–Clark
✈️ Manila–Antique–Manila → Manila–Iloilo–Manila
✈️ Manila–Catarman–Manila → Cebu–Catarman–Cebu
With the mandated transition of turboprop services out of NAIA, PAL will introduce additional domestic jet frequencies beginning March 2026, expanding capacity on high-demand routes and providing passengers with more travel options.
Expanded weekly services include:
✈️ Manila–Cebu: up to 76 flights weekly
✈️ Manila–Dumaguete: up to 21 flights weekly
✈️ Manila–Iloilo: up to 42 flights weekly
✈️ Manila–Roxas: up to 14 flights weekly
✈️ Manila–Tacloban: up to 28 flights weekly
Passengers booked on affected flights will receive updated itineraries and may choose from the following options:
- Rebook Ticket: Rebook in the same cabin class on a flight with available space within 60 days from the original travel date.
- Convert to Travel Credits: Convert the value of the unused ticket into Travel Credits valid for two years, which can be used for future ticket purchases. As an added incentive, affected passengers will receive a 5% bonus value when converting to Travel Credits.
- Refund Option: Request a refund for the unused ticket (excluding the ticketing service charge).
