Flag carrier Philippine Airlines (PAL) announces the launch of a new flight service connecting Manila and Palau (Koror). Starting March 29, 2026, PAL will offer twice-weekly flights to Palau, an island nation in Micronesia.
The new Manila-Palau route strengthens PAL’s presence in the Pacific region, providing seamless air connectivity from major Asian and select Philippine cities to Palau through the airline’s Manila hub and making it easier than ever to reach this tropical paradise.
“Creating flights to this Pacific island will stimulate tourism travel among beach lovers and the diving community. Travelers can expect world-class service on board their flights combined with Philippine Airlines’ renowned Filipino heartfelt care,” said Richard Nuttall, PAL President.
Koror is the gateway to Palau’s extraordinary marine attractions. The destination boasts vibrant dive sites, crystal-clear lagoons, and thriving coral reefs. Its proximity and ease of access position Palau as an attractive addition to PAL’s network, reinforcing its commitment to expanding routes that deliver unique experiences and drive tourism growth.
To mark this milestone, PAL is offering special introductory fares starting at USD 499 roundtrip economy base fare and USD 1,239 roundtrip business class base fare until December 18, for travel beginning March 29, 2026 and beyond.
Flights from Manila are scheduled every Wednesday and Sunday, departing at 10:15 PM and arriving in Palau (Koror) at 2:00 AM local time. Return flights from Palau (Koror) to Manila operate on Mondays and Thursdays, taking off at 3:10 AM local time and landing in Manila at 4:55 AM.
The service will be operated by PAL’s modern 199-seater dual-class Airbus A321ceo, ensuring passenger comfort and convenience.
This new route complements PAL’s existing Western Pacific service to Guam, further enhancing travel opportunities for leisure and business passengers across the region.
