Starting March 1, Philippine Airlines (PAL) will increase its flights to daily services on the popular Clark-Busuanga (Coron) route. This move is part of the flag carrier’s efforts to strengthen its domestic network and boost tourism and economic growth.
PAL’s expanded Clark-Busuanga and Busuanga-Clark services will increase from the current four weekly flights to seven, in response to the growing demand for leisure travel to Northern Palawan. Busuanga Airport serves as the gateway to Coron, a destination known for its dramatic landscapes, hidden beaches, turquoise lagoons, and rich biodiversity.
“We are excited to help foreign and domestic tourists discover the abundant wonders of Coron, home to the Twin Lagoons, Barracuda Lake, and vibrant coral reefs that grew from the hulks of sunken warships, hailed by Forbes Traveler Magazine as one of the top ten best scuba diving sites in the world,” said PAL Express President Rabbi Vincent Ang. “Our upgrade to daily Clark-Busuanga flights will help make fares more affordable and travel more convenient for both foreign and domestic tourists, in time for the summer travel season.”
With the enhanced Clark-Busuanga service, PAL now offers a total of 42 weekly flights to Busuanga (Coron). The flag carrier operates three daily flights between Manila and Busuanga, as well as two daily flights between Cebu and Busuanga.
PAL utilizes the 86-seater De Havilland Dash 8-400 Next Generation aircraft for the Clark-Busuanga flights, offering near-jet speeds and a quieter inflight experience.
From Clark International Airport, PAL also operates daily flights to Cebu, three weekly flights to Siargao, and four weekly flights to Basco (Batanes), along with seasonal nonstop services to Seoul Incheon (until March 4).
