Philippine Airlines Launches Flight to Phnom Penh


Philippine Airlines is one of the major airlines of Far East Asia- Pacific region. It was established in the year 1935 but commenced operations six years later. The airline has been focusing on increasingly on regional connectivity. In pursuance of this policy, the airline has started off its direct flight to Phnom Penh from Manila.

The launch of this flight will further enhance the tourism and trade relations between two capital cities. PAL had started the direct flights to Siem Reap in Cambodia from Cebu in 2012. This current new direct flight has come after a gap of 7 years.

It is interesting to note Philippine airlines reservations is done by almost 80000 people from Philippines to Cambodia annually but the same numbers are not reciprocated from Cambodia to Philippines.

There is an expectation that this new flight will see an increase in air traffic from Cambodia to Philippines dramatically within a short span of time. Much will depend on the airfares and cabin service of the airline.

The airline will fly 5 times a week (not on Mondays and Thursdays). Phnom Penh flight will leave at 12:45AM and reach Manila airport at 4:20 AM. The return flight will fly from Manila in night at 10:10 PM to reach Phnom Penh at 1:45 AM. The airplane which will fly on this route will be 156-seater A320. 

This will also be the first direct flight from Phnom Pneh to Manila. All other flights are connecting flights and these have at least one stop at the major hub of that airline in the region. This will put at ease flight tickets booking and travel between two cities. 

In this region of South-east Asia, the airline reaches Vietnam, besides Cambodia. In Vietnam, it connect Ho Chi Minh City and Hanoi.
