Philippine Airlines (PAL) announced it will expand its non-stop services between Manila and Los Angeles to 18 flights per week, up from the current 14.
The higher frequency will take effect on June 1, 2026.
At present, PAL operates the Manila–Los Angeles route twice daily using its Boeing 777 fleet.
With the expansion, the airline will mount three flights per day on Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays and Saturdays.
PAL said the move is part of efforts to add capacity on one of its busiest long-haul routes and strengthen its international network.
The airline earlier reported a surge in profit, with attributable net income rising to ₱9.03 billion in the first nine months of 2025 from ₱6.76 billion a year earlier, driven by higher passenger revenues.
Industry observers say the added flights are expected to benefit both business and leisure travelers and enhance PAL’s competitiveness on trans-Pacific routes.
