The Philippine Airlines is set to resume next month its commercial flights between Manila and Xiamen.

PAL’s January 13, 2023 reopening scheduled service to the mainland China comes almost three years after the flight operation was paused due to border restrictions due to the pandemic.

“Starting with one flight per week, operating every Friday, the PAL route to Xiamen will build up frequencies over time, in line with the easing of restrictions and applicable government authorizations,” said PAL spokesperson Cielo Villaluna.

From January 13 onward, PAL will offer one flight per week between Manila and Xiamen.

PAL flight PR 330 will serve every Friday departing Ninoy Aquino International Airport at 7:30 a.m. and will arrive in Xiamen Gaoqi International Airport at 9:55 a.m.

The return flight to Manila will be leaving Xiamen Gaoqi at 11:55 a.m. and land at the NAIA at 2:30 p.m.

The flag carrier will deploy Airbus A330-300 aircraft on the Xiamen route.

Before the pandemic, PAL served five cities in China—Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Xiamen, and Quanzhou (Jinjiang).

During the pandemic, the airline operated a series of authorized regular charter flights to Nanjing (from July 2020 to September 2022), Hangzhou (August 2022 to September 2022), Tianjin (from July 2022 to August 2022), and Wuhan (from August 2022 to present), while scheduled services on the airline’s regular routes were suspended.
