Philippine Airlines is looking at a code share agreement with American carriers to expand its footprint in the US.
“We’re working with a possible codeshare with some American carriers,” said PAL president and chief operating officer Jaime Bautista.
The codeshare alliances with other airlines aim to broaden PAL’s network and establish a presence in cities where it does not fly.
PAL flies 17 times weekly non-stop flights to Los Angeles; 10 times weekly non- stop services to San Francisco; and 10 times a week to Vancouver, four of which fly onward to Toronto and back, and four fly en route to New York and back.
PAL also operates a regular five weekly direct service to Honolulu, and daily to Guam.
The airline has codeshare agreements with Xiamen Airlines, Hawaiian Airlines, Cathay Pacific, Gulf Air, Etihad Airways, All Nippon Airways, West Jet, Turkish Airlines, Vietnam Airlines, Garuda Airlines, Air Macau and China Airlines.
