The airline currently operates scheduled nonstop services from Manila and Cebu to 29 destinations in the Philippines and 40 destinations across Asia, North America, Australia and the Middle East. Founded in 1941, PAL describes itself as the Philippines’ flag carrier and only full-service network airline. —Vanessa Hidalgo | Ed: Corrie S. Narisma
