The Philippine Airlines (PAL) confirmed Thursday it will resume nonstop flights between Manila and Saipan starting October 25, 2026. Bringing back this route strengthens tourism, family connections, and business links between the Philippines and the Northern Mariana Islands, making it easier for communities across the Pacific to reconnect.
PAL also announced new service to India set to launch in December 2026. Flights between Manila and Delhi will run three times weekly on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, while flights between Manila and Mumbai will operate four times weekly on Tuesdays, Thursdays, Saturdays, and Sundays. Both India routes will use Airbus A321neo aircraft configured with 168 seats—12 lie-flat seats in Business Class and 156 seats in Economy Class.
From its hubs in Manila and Cebu, PAL currently flies to 29 domestic destinations and 40 international destinations spanning Asia, North America, Australia, and the Middle East.
