Philippine Airlines launches first international service from Clark Airport in Angeles City Pampanga Philippines to Seoul Incheon

Philippine Airlines has introduced its first international route from Clark (CRK) in the Philippines.
On 1 January the national carrier began daily flights to Seoul Incheon (ICN) using its 199-seat A321s. Competition on the 2,543-kilometre route comes from Asiana Airlines and Jin Air which both operate the airport pairing with daily flights. Philippine Airlines President Jamie Bautista said: “We will operate more flights outside of Manila not just to decongest the Ninoy Aquino International Airport (NAIA) but mainly to offer convenience to passengers who do not need to travel to Manila for their desired flights.” Philippine Airlines already operates domestic flights to Caticlan from Clark with additional domestic routes being added in the coming weeks.
