Philippine Airlines said Wednesday it will start flights to Virac, Catanduanes from Clark International Airport in Pampanga province on Dec. 15.
“This latest pioneer route enables us to serve the flight needs of our ‘kababayans’ in the province of Catanduanes. It will be our pleasure to serve the Clark-Virac route and provide them our trademark heartfelt service on this short hop,” PAL president and chief operating officer Jaime Bautista said.
“The new flights further expand our domestic route network and our hub at Clark International Airport giving travelers the flexibility to choose from our wide array of domestic services,” he said.
PAL will operate the 76-seater Bombardier Q400 fleet for the new route.
PAL’s domestic hub operations in Pampanga serve the following routes: Clark-Basco, Clark-Busuanga, Clark-Caticlan, Clark-Cebu and Clark-Puerto Princesa.
New domestic flights out of Clark this December will serve Bacolod, Cagayan, Davao and Tagbilaran. From Clark, the flag carrier also serves Seoul (Incheon) four times week.
