Emirates and Philippine Airlines explore enhanced partnership

Both airlines said they had a ‘shared goal’ of offering more convenient schedules and improved services to the traveling public.

Emirates and PAL agreed to consider the possibility of a reciprocal code sharing agreement on flights between the Philippines and Dubai, and on select routes beyond the gateways of each partner airline.

A code sharing partnership could potentially give travellers better connectivity to new and exciting destinations beyond each airline’s own network, with the convenience of a single ticket, one competitive fare and one baggage policy for their entire journey.

Both carriers will also explore opportunities to enhance their cargo interline cooperation; exchange best practices in ground handling, catering, maintenance and technical trainings; and organise joint familiarisation trips for key media and trade stakeholders.
