Philippine Airlines (PAL) plans to expand travel options from India with three weekly nonstop flights from Delhi to Manila and its first-ever Mumbai–Manila service with four weekly flights beginning December 2026, subject to Indian Government approval. The new routes will give Indian travellers direct access to the Philippines and convenient onward connections through PAL’s Manila hub to destinations across Southeast Asia, North America, Australia and North Asia.
“We look forward to welcoming more Indian travellers aboard Philippine Airlines and introducing them to the Philippines through our signature Filipino hospitality,” said PAL President Richard Nuttall. “Through Manila, they will also gain access to PAL’s wider network of destinations across Asia, North America and Australia.”
