P.A.L. FLIGHTS TO S. KOREA NORMAL
Despite the reported military tension in the Korean peninsula, Philippine Airlines (PAL) flights to South Korea remained normal, the flag carrier announced in a statement this week. PAL will continue mounting regular flights to Seoul and Busan until otherwise advised either by Philippine or South Korean authorities. PAL is closely monitoring developments. In any eventuality, the flag carrier is bracing for the possibility of mounting evacuation flights should the Philippine Department of Foreign Affairs or Malacañang make an official request in case the situation in South Korea deteriorates. Updates on the conflict are also being fed to PAL management by its staff in Seoul who, in turn, get information from the Philippine embassy in South Korea. PAL currently flies Manila-Seoul twice a day, to Busan four times a week, and daily from Cebu to Seoul. (EVA)
