“We plan to increase the number of routes and flights in the coming months, if allowed by aviation authorities, global public health conditions, and the travel environment,” PAL said.
Moreover, airline said it is strictly implementing “new normal” practices to protect passengers.
“We wish to remind all passengers to bring your own face masks or facial coverings, as you are now required to wear face masks at all times – at the airport and also throughout your flight,” it added.
“We also encourage you to check-in online and arrive early at the airport to allocate extra time for new safety procedures (thermal scanning, social distancing practices for queuing, etc.) – at least three hours prior to departure for domestic flights; and four hours prior to departure for international flights,” it said.
According to PAL, its cabin crew have undergone rapid antibody testing prior to the flight, and will be wearing full Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) for protection on board the flight.
A modified meal and snack service will be offered on board, using sealed packaging instead of traditional meals, it added.
“All PAL aircraft are equipped with high-technology systems that continuously infuse fresh air across the cabin (cabin air is replaced every two to three minutes), as well as HEPA filters
