ReplyDeleteYou gotta love the newly found "aim higher" mentality of the Philippines' two major carriers.... Hope all their planned routes pan out well. :D
ReplyDeleteI hope CAB approve PAL's application to start flights to Moscow, Istanbul and Kuwait City. Good thing PAL is now ahead beginning flight services to Kuala Lumpur, Brisbane, Darwin, and Perth.
