FLAG carrier Philippine Airlines (PAL) is scheduled to operate the Hong Kong-Kalibo route later this month. It said last week it will start mounting flights to its newest route on April 27. The twice weekly service—aimed at further boosting market demand for Boracay—will utilize PAL’s bi-class Airbus A320 aircraft that seats 12 in business class and 144 in economy.
PAL flight PR289 leaves Hong Kong every Tuesday and Friday at 1:20pm and arrive in Kalibo at 3:50pm. The return flight, PR290, departs Kalibo at 4:50pm and arrive in Hong Kong at 7:20pm.
Special introductory fare for round-trip, economy tickets is being offered at HK$1,350.
Separately, PAL announced on Friday that flights covered by the rerouting or contingency flight paths were reverted back to their normal flight paths. The return to “normal flight paths” covering an estimated 12 PAL flights was a result of the rescinding by the CAAP or the Civil Aviation Authority of the Philippines of the NOTAM (Notice to Airmen) which contained the alternative flight paths to be followed by flights traversing the eastern section of Luzon as well as the no-fly zone. The rescinding of the NOTAM is a result of the failed satellite launch by North Korea. In the rescinded Notice to Airmen, flights traversing the eastern section of Luzon must take alternative paths due to the declared “no fly zone” over that part of the country. The no fly zone was originally slated from April 12 to April 16, from 5am to 1pm.
