The return of Philippine Airlines PAL to Kuala Lumpur on 8th June 2017 after a three year absence is a positive development for both ASEAN countries. Over eight hundred thousand Overseas Filipino Workers are employed in Malaysia. This service also offers easier access for investment initiatives.

This route will utilise PAL’s Airbus A321 – 200 aircraft. These aircraft, with an average age of around 2.5 years, will carry 199 passengers. Twelve seats are available in Business class, eighteen Premium Economy and a hundred and sixty-nine in Economy.

…. The resumption of PAL flights between Manila and Kuala Lumpur will help foster economic and cultural ties between the Philippines and Malaysia. Most importantly, it addresses the clamor for a direct service between the two capital cities. PAL President and COO Jaime J. Bautista
