After a three-year absence, Philippine Airlines (PAL) resumed daily service to Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia starting June 8.
The decision to return to Kuala Lumpur comes after PAL and Malaysia Airlines expanded their code-share arrangement. The enhancements include code-sharing on 12 Malaysian destinations and nine Philippine destinations.
Close to 800,000 overseas Filipino workers are employed in Malaysia.
“Through PAL flights and code-share partners, we can carry passenger traffic from Kuala Lumpur to China, Japan, South Pacific and North America and thus enhance our ASEAN network,” PAL president and COO Jaime Bautista said.
The destination points in Malaysia are Alor Setar, Johor Bahru, Kota Bharu, Kota Kinabalu, Kuala Terengganu, Kuching, Labuan (Sabah), Langkawi, Miri (Sarawak), Penang, Sibu (Sarawak), Tawau (Sabah). For the Philippines, these domestic destinations are Bacolod, Cagayan de Oro, Cebu, Davao, General Santos, Iloilo, Kalibo, Puerto Princesa, and Caticlan.
PAL flights depart Manila once a day every week, with return flights leaving Kuala Lumpur on the same days.
