Philippine Airlines is set to operate three nonstop flights per week between Manila and Beijing starting March 30.

In doing so, the Philippine flag-carrier significantly expands its route network in China, offering flights to four major cities: Beijing, Shanghai, Quanzhou, and Xiamen.

The nonstop flights will be operated using Airbus A321 aircraft, with a capacity of up to 199 seats in both Business and Economy class.

An honour to serve two nations
Philippine Airlines’ president and chief operating officer Stanley K Ng remarked, “It is an honour for the airline to contribute to strengthening bilateral relations between the Philippines and China through the new direct Manila-Beijing route.”

Ng added, “We believe that the Manila-Beijing service will help boost tourism, enhance trade, and deepen the friendly ties between the Filipino and Chinese people.”

Beijing, the world’s eighth-largest city, is home to renowned historical treasures that draw millions of visitors globally, including the Great Wall of China, the Forbidden City, and the Summer Palace.

Travelers from Beijing can connect via Manila to Philippine Airlines’ vast domestic and regional flight network, enabling access to top Philippine destinations like Cebu, Davao, Boracay, and Palawan, as well as various spots in Southeast Asia, Australia, and North America.
