FLAG carrier Philippine Airlines on Tuesday signed an agreement with Clark International Airport Corporation in connection with the airlines’ new domestic and international flights to be operated at the Pampanga’s hub beginning December 16.
Under the agreement signed by PAL president Jaime Bautista and CIAC president and chief executive officer Alexander Caguiran, the airlines committed to mount flights at the International Airport in stages.
PAL will initially have flights to and from Caticlan (Boracay) on Friday and on the first quarter of 2017, the carrier will be having a non-stop flights between Clark and Cebu, Davao and Cagayan, as well as flights between Clark and Incheon, South Korea.
“Signing this agreement solidifies our commitment to help the government develop secondary hubs in order to ease congestion at the Manila terminals. The positive response in terms of passenger bookings for the Clark-Caticlan route proves that we have made the right decision to mount these new flights,” said Bautista.
Caguiran has committed to provide PAL specific logistical and ground service support to help ensure smooth operation of flights. He also assured that Clark International Airport has contingency plans in case there will be diverted flights and other emergency situations.
