PAL to Launch Direct Flights to India in December

PAL will use 168-seat Airbus A321neo jets on both routes, adding cargo capacity and new travel options as it awaits Indian government approval.

  • Philippine Airlines plans to launch nonstop flights from Manila to Delhi and Mumbai in December, establishing direct air links to two of India's leading cultural and commercial centers.
  • "Opening services to Delhi and Mumbai strengthens PAL's network in one of Asia's most dynamic economies," said PAL President Richard Nuttall, noting the routes create opportunities for Filipinos to explore India.
  • PAL will operate both routes using its 168-seat Airbus A321neo aircraft, featuring 12 lie-flat Business Class seats and 156 Economy Class seats, with the Manila-Delhi service operating three times weekly.
  • These direct routes will expand the airline's international cargo network, facilitating faster trade between the two nations as shipments connect efficiently through Manila.
  • The new routes remain subject to approval from the Indian government, complementing the airline's broader network growth which includes scheduled nonstop Manila-Chicago flights beginning November 9.
