Philippine Airlines expands Aussie market

BRISBANE– Philippine Airlines (PAL) has increased its fiscal year 2010 target revenues for Australia from $42 million last fiscal year to $64 million in 2010, expecting a huge growth after forging partnerships with the biggest tour operators and growing demand from non-Filipinos.

“We are optimistic about our targets because of higher and better carriage with our new Airbus A330 planes. Our market has also expanded after Brisbane was added to our route,” explained Arnul Pan, Philippine Airlines (PAL) Country Manager, Australia.

“We expect an over 10 percent increase of passenger traffic from Australia to the Philippines this year,” Pan said.

PAL started its flights to Brisbane this 17 March 2010. In all, the flag carrier services three Australian destinations Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane.
