MORE PAL CITIES NOW IN THE ‘GREEN LIST’

To our valued passengers:

We are happy to confirm that more PAL overseas stations are now classified under the “Green List’, for the period from November 16 until November 30, 2021, by the Philippine Inter-Agency Task Force (IATF).

This Green List classification will result in the easing of quarantine protocols for PAL passengers traveling from these countries.

The Green List now includes the following countries or regions served by PAL:

• Indonesia (Jakarta)

• Mainland China
• Japan (Tokyo Haneda, Tokyo Narita, Fukuoka, Osaka Kansai, Nagoya)
• Saudi Arabia (Dammam, Riyadh)
• Taiwan (Taipei)
• United Arab Emirates (Dubai)

Fully-vaccinated individuals from Green List areas need only to adhere to the following testing and quarantine protocols:

For fully-vaccinated Filipinos (any of the following):
Present a negative RT-PCR test result taken within 72 hours prior to departure from the country of origin, in which case the traveler will no longer be required to undergo a facility-based quarantine (but is highly encouraged to self-monitor for any symptoms until the 14th day after arrival); or
Take an RT-PCR test upon arrival, and undergo a facility-based quarantine only until the release of a negative test result.

For fully-vaccinated foreign nationals:
Must present a negative RT-PCR test result within 72 hours prior to departure from the origin country; and
Will no longer be required to undergo a facility-based quarantine (but is highly encouraged to self-monitor for any symptoms until the 14th day after arrival).

We will continue to monitor any new updates on the easing of travel or entry requirements. We also look forward to being able to fly from cities in mainland China in the near future, subject to all the necessary government approvals.

Rest assured that we will continue to add more flights on international routes to better serve the travel needs of our customers in the coming weeks.
