The Philippines and Australia has expanded its Air Services Agreement (ASA) by adding 700 more seats to Australia's major cities of Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane and Perth from Manila during the two-day air consultation talks held on 25-26 September 2018 in Manila.
The existing ASA allows only 9,300 seating capacity per week. With the amendment capacity rises to 10,00 seats per week. Also agreed was the incremental increase of another 700 seats to 10,700 seats per week by the end of March 2019.
Unlimited capacity was also agreed to other airports in the Philippines and Australia with no restriction on capacity, frequency, and aircraft type.
The Philippines panel was represented by DOTr Aviation and Airports Undersecretary Manuel Antonio Tamayo, while Australia was represented by Executive Director Stephen Borthwick from Australia's Department of Infrastructure, Regional Development.
The new agreement will enable Cebu Pacific to add two more flights to Sydney and/or Melbourne and another two flights beginning 2019.

ReplyDeleteIf only PAL can deploy some of the long haul interior A321-neos that is flying Port Moresby lately on these routes!
DeleteWhy not PAL can have a codeshare with Qantas?
ReplyDeleteGood Question. Perhaps they don't like PAL that much. The beneficiary of the new seats are meant to accommodate additional 5J flights to Oz which has been averaging 80%LF based on BITRE datum.
ReplyDeleteIf not QF then VA Can also be a good alternative to codeshare with PAL.
