Air Philippines Corporation, now operating as Airphil Express (formerly Air Philippines), is a low-cost
airline based in Pasay City, Philippines. It operates both domestic and international scheduled services from Manila,
Cebu, Davao and Zamboanga. The airline was re-branded for a number of times, first as Air Philippines, then as PAL
Express. Due to financial losses, Air Philippines ceased operations for a short while until it was acquired by investors
from the Lucio Tan group. After the acquisition, the airline was re-launched as PAL Express, to operate some routes
and slot assignments of its sister company Philippine Airlines until the management decided to re-brand the carrier as
a budget airline now known as Airphil Express.
The new Airphil Express is Philippine Airlines' answer to Çebu Pacific Air's presence on the low cost travel market in
the Philippines. It allowed PAL to focus on the premium market where it does not have competition in the domestic
Philippine market. The airline is currently on fleet acquisition mode to support its planned domestic and international
route expansion plan.
IMPORTANT !
To get every Juan to more places everyday, Cebu Pacific (CEB) operates a fleet of 30 Airbus (10 A319 and 20
A320) and 8 ATR 72-500 aircraft, the youngest fleet in the Philippines. With the completion of the re-fleeting program,
our capacity has doubled. CEB offers the lowest year round Lite Fares for its destinations. CEB remains to be the
pioneer in creative pricing strategies as it manages to offer the lowest fare in every route it operates.
Cebu Pacific is not just the leader in low fares but also in innovation and creativity! CEB is the first local airline to
introduce e-ticketing, prepaid excess baggage and seat selection in the Philippines. Guests have also learned to
anticipate a uniquely upbeat flying experience with CEB, as this is the only domestic carrier that offers fun in the skies
with its games on board popularly known as Fun Flights, together with its own inflight magazine.
Cebu Pacific flights leave Manila from Ninoy Aquino Terminal 3 (= NAIA 3).
Philippine Airlines (PAL) began life with a noble mission: to serve as a partner in nation-building. With this in mind,
PAL took to the skies on 15 March 1941, using a Beech Model 18 aircraft amid the specter of a global war. It became
Asia's first airline.
Since then, PAL deeply involved itself in shaping the course of historic events. With its every takeoff and touchdown,
PAL planted the seed of growth. PAL has become one of the most respected airlines around the world with a young
and modern fleet of aircraft and a route network that spans 31 foreign cities and 29 domestic points.
PAL's excellent service has won the hearts of travelers worldwide. This trademark has distinguished it from the pack
and has stood guard in an environment that has grown more competitive by the day.
