Philippine Airlines eyes new Davao hub
Philippine Airlines is looking to establish a regional hub at Davao, Mindanao Island, Philippines to serve both Southeast Asian and Australasian destinations. PAL CE Jaime Bautista said the airline would “definitely consider a hub,” at Davao’s Francisco Bangoy International. Bautista said potential destinations for the carrier from Davao could include Singapore Changi, Malaysia’s KLIA2, Bali Denpasar and Australia as well as local destination Manado. “In fact, some of our [most] profitable domestic routes are [already] out of Davao,” he said of existing services to Manila and Cebu. Other Filipino carriers, including Cebu Pacific, have already established significant operations out of Davao, partly to ease congestion and delays out of Manila’s Ninoy Aquino International. <br/>
