PAL Perth Inaugural Flight

 9 April 2023

Philippine Airlines (PAL) has finally landed in Perth on March 27, three years after it was originally scheduled to commence in March 2020 until the Covid pandemic intervened.

The inaugural flight was skippered by Philippine Airlines’ President and Chief Operating Officer Captain Stanley Ng and was welcomed with a traditional Fire Truck Water Arch.
The Philippine Airlines’ service between Perth and the Filipino capital.

The airline will operate the service with an A321neo three times weekly, on Mondays, Thursdays and Saturdays using A321neoLR. The flight time will be approximately seven hours. Philippine Airlines last served Perth almost a decade ago, operating a one-stop service from Manila via Darwin (DRW), the capital of Australia’s Northern Territory. The 4X-weekly route launched in June 2013 but was axed just three months later.
