Philippine Airlines (PAL) and Emirates have taken their partnership to the next level by expanding their interline agreement. This expansion now allows Emirates’ passengers to access more domestic points in PAL’s network via Cebu and Clark, in addition to the previously announced connections via Manila. The collaboration between the two airlines is aimed at providing seamless connectivity for passengers, allowing them to reach even more destinations in the Philippines using a single ticket and a convenient baggage policy.
Emirates’ passengers can now enjoy a hassle-free booking process to various destinations in PAL’s network, including Bacolod, Butuan, Cagayan De Oro, Davao, Iloilo, Caticlan, and Puerto Princesa via Cebu, as well as Cebu, Caticlan, and Busuanga via Clark.
Mutual Benefits, Connecting the World
The enhanced interline agreement is not just a one-way street. PAL’s passengers will also benefit from this collaboration by booking Emirates-operated flights to cities such as Amman, Birmingham, Cape Town, Dammam, Dublin, Lisbon, Manchester, Muscat, and Riyadh via Dubai. PAL operates daily flights between Manila and Dubai, making connections to European, African, and Middle Eastern destinations more convenient. The arrangement even allows passengers to obtain their boarding passes and check through their baggage all the way to the final destination.
Travel itineraries can be easily booked on the respective websites of both airlines, their mobile apps, or through online and offline travel agents.
This expansion comes after the initial announcement of the interline agreement between Philippine Airlines and Emirates. It reaffirms the commitment of both airlines to meet the growing demand by offering travelers more choices, flexibility, and enhanced customer experiences.
A Long-Standing Relationship
Philippine Airlines has been serving the Middle East since 1947 and the United Arab Emirates since 1982. The airline now operates 24 weekly flights to three countries in the Middle East, along with nonstop services across the Pacific Ocean to gateways in Canada and the United States.

My dream was to become a pilot, but destiny led me to another path: to be an aviation digital media content creator and a small business owner. My passion for aviation inspires me to bring you quality content through my website and social accounts. Aviation is indeed in my blood and blog!
