PAL to add more Manila-Seattle flights by November 2025
PAL said it will start Tuesday and Thursday departures from Manila and Seattle on November 25. Flight PR 124 will leave Manila at 10:40 p.m. and arrive in Seattle at 7:35 p.m. Meanwhile, flight PR 125 will leave Seattle at 11:30 p.m. and arrive in Manila at 4:05 a.m.
PAL currently operates the same flights every Tuesday, Friday, and Sunday with a Boeing 777-300ER long-range jetliner, accommodating 370 passengers with 42 seats in business class and 328 in economy class.
'Our decision to increase frequencies to Seattle highlights the importance of the US market to the Philippine Airlines global network, and in particular the great value of Seattle as a gateway, not just to the Washington and Oregon areas, but to cities across the United States that we can now serve through our ongoing partnership with Alaska Airlines,' PAL president Richard Nuttall said in an emailed statement.
'We are focusing strongly on developing this growing market to help Americans plan their vacation trips to the Philippines and other Asian countries, to open up more opportunities for businesses to build up commercial activities, and for Filipino Americans to reunite more often with their families back in the home country,' he added.
PAL serves eight destinations in the US and Canada, including nonstop flights to New York, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Vancouver, Toronto, Honolulu, and Guam.
PAL ended the first quarter of the year with a $77 million net income, down from $80.9 million in the same period last year. It flew 4.1 million passengers during the quarter, up 5% year-on-year.
The carrier in April announced key changes in its leadership, with British national and airline industry executive Richard Nuttall taking over as president effective May 29, 2025.

Lee says Korea a reliable partner of PH amid global instability
'This year marks the 75th anniversary of the Korean War. We will never forget that the Philippines was the first Asian nation to send combat troops in 1950—ultimately more than 7,000 strong,' Lee said. Korean Ambassador Lee Sang-Hwa said his country is a reliable partner of the Philippines, recalling the Philippines' role in Korea's history as the first country in Asia to send combat troops to the Korean War in 1950. At a luncheon he hosted for members of the Philippine media earlier this week, Lee said, 'Korea knows what solidarity means.' 'This year marks the 75th anniversary of the Korean War. We will never forget that the Philippines was the first Asian nation to send combat troops in 1950—ultimately more than 7,000 strong,' Lee said. 'Because our bond was forged in the crucible of war, it is natural that Korea stands as a reliable partner of the Philippines, particularly when we face deepening global instability, one that is fraught with fragmentation and uncertainty,' he added. 'As fellow maritime nations, we share an abiding interest in peace and stability, as well as upholding a rules-based order in the South China Sea and beyond,' Lee said. Oliver Victor B. Amoroso, Senior Vice President and Head of GMA Integrated News, Regional TV, and Synergy; and Reina Anne S. Dimapawi, Assistant Vice President and Deputy Head of Integrated News Operations, attended the luncheon. Lee thanked the Philippine government, the Filipino people, and the media 'for the trust you have shown in the resilience of Korea's democracy.' 'As you know, Korea has come through a period of domestic uncertainty following the declaration of martial law last December,' Lee said. 'With the inauguration of President Lee Jae-myung's new government, stability has been restored across the board. We believe this renewed confidence at home will translate into fresh momentum in our 76-year-old ties,' he added. Lee said that after the Philippines-Korea Free Trade Agreement came into force in December, Korea has topped the list of foreign investors based on PEZA-approved projects. 'We expect even more good news in the months ahead as businesses act on the new opportunities unlocked by the FTA and the Philippines' CREATE MORE Act,' Lee said. Lee said the two countries' defense cooperation also continued to grow with the Korean-built frigate—the BRP Miguel Malvar—getting commissioned in May. 'And with the 12 additional FA-50 fighter aircraft contracted in June, this active defense cooperation will help modernize the Armed Forces of the Philippines,' Lee said. Lee said the Filipinos and Koreans also feel their connection through culture. 'Korean culture continues to bring our communities closer. I am glad that Filipinos enthusiastically streamed the latest Squid Game season and embraced the animated hit K-Pop Demon Hunters,' Lee said. 'Building on that excitement, the Korean Cultural Center is hosting 'Step Into the World of K-Pop Demon Hunters' from 18 July to 4 August,' he added. ' I encourage all of you to visit and try on the iconic gat (let me show you this), and create traditional maedeup knots and paint your own Magpie-and-Tiger folk art piece. It's a fun, hands-on way to experience Korea's creative spirit,' Lee said. –NB, GMA Integrated News
