Philippine Airlines and American Airlines have rolled out an airline codeshare partnership.
It marks the first marketed flights by a Philippine carrier to several US destinations.
The codeshare pact also allows American’s customers to travel to PAL’s hub Manila and Cebu.
American’s customers can now book tickets for codeshare flights operated by Philippine Airlines to Manila and Cebu via Tokyo.
Additionally, customers will be able to fly to Manila from Honolulu and Guam.
“We are excited to partner with Philippine Airlines, which will provide our customers seamless connections to Manila and Cebu, the gateway to countless tropical islands,” said Anmol Bhargava, American’s VP of Global Alliances and Partnerships.
“The Philippines is one of the fastest growing economies in Asia, and we look forward to continuing to enhance our partnership with PAL.”
Philippine Airlines has placed its “PR” code on American’s flights between Los Angeles and seven U.S. cities: Atlanta, Denver, Houston, Las Vegas, Miami, Orlando and Washington, D.C., enabling connectivity with PAL’s trans-Pacific service.
“This airline codeshare partnership unlocks more options for customers traveling between Asia and the United States,” said Eric David Anderson, PAL’s CCO.
“We are delighted to deliver on our long-term strategy of continuing to build our global reach.”
Philippine Airlines operates twice-daily nonstop flights to Los Angeles, daily flights to San Francisco and multiple weekly flights to New York, Honolulu and Guam.
