Flag carrier Philippine Airlines (PAL) is adding flights from Manila to Cauayan, Isabela starting January 15, 2025 as it continues to grow its domestic network.
In a statement, the airline said the new PAL service will offer daily flights for the convenience of traveling tourists, businessmen and families.
The hour-long flights give residents of Northern Luzon a new alternative to a land trip of more than 10 hours to go to Manila from Cauayan and vice versa.
“We will welcome 2025 with our new Manila-Cauayan-Manila service, commencing on January 15th, 2025,” said PAL Express President Rabbi Vincent Ang.
He added that, “Philippine Airlines looks forward to serving the people of Isabela province with our daily flights as our latest investment in building connectivity between key cities in Luzon for the benefit of local tourism and economic growth.
“We are grateful for the support of the local government of Isabela in making this venture possible, and we will do our best to extend PAL’s brand of Buong Pusong Alaga to our Cauayan-bound passengers.”
PAL’s Manila-Cauayan flights provide a gateway to the province of Isabela, known for its thriving agricultural economy, richness of culture and renowned festivals, including the annual Bambanti and Gawagaway-yan events.
PAL will operate the daily flights to and from Cauayan utilizing 86-seater De Havilland Dash 8-400 Next Generation aircraft, with early afternoon departures from Manila’s NAIA Terminal 2 at 01:25 PM, and departures from Cauayan Airport at 3:25 PM.
The Cauayan-Manila flights seamlessly connect to a wider range of domestic and international destinations served by PAL from Manila.
