| All Nippon Airways and Philippine Airlines starts Haneda services today with ANA869 flight departing Tokyo's Haneda airport at 9:55AM arriving NAIA at 1:30PM. The Inaugural flight is being serviced by Boeing 767-300ER (JA618A), while Philippine Airlines flight PR 422 to Haneda left Manila at 8:55AM and scheduled to arrive Haneda at 1:55PM. PAL's inaugural flight was serviced by Boeing 777-300ER (RP-C7772).  ANA's return flight to Japan is scheduled at 2:40PM arriving Haneda at 7:55PM, while PAL return flight PR 422 from Haneda is scheduled to depart 15:20PM arriving NAIA at 6:45PM. Haneda becomes PAL’s fifth gateway to Japan following Narita, Fukuoka, Osaka and Nagoya making the flag carrier the biggest Philippine operator to and from Japan with 47 flights a week. PAL currently operates 21 weekly flights to Narita, 5 times a week to Fukuoka, 7 to Nagoya and 7 to Osaka. Meanwhile, ANA flies 21 flights from Narita and Haneda. On the same date, low cost airline Cebu Pacific also launch flights to Narita and Nagoya adding its destinations in Japan to three, Osaka, Nagoya and Narita. |
Then, ANA will convert their aircraft to Dreamliner starting May 2014.
ReplyDeleteIm guessing, PAL will be successful on this route as they flight schedule is more earlier then ANA. And PAL's flight is only 5 hours and ANA flight will be 15 more longer. Depending on how early or delayed their departure and arrive is.
ReplyDeleteBut its a great expansion for PAL :)

Excited for May 1 why? because of the 787....
ReplyDeletePhilippine Airlines has announced that it will be reducing flight Manila- Tokyo Haneda from 07 MAY 2014 until further notice by suspending its evening flights due to poor sales. Morning flights remained unaffected and will be service daily.
