Philippine Airlines to resume Manila-Dubai flights on October 2

Philippine Airlines is pushing back the resumption of its flights to Dubai through the start of October.

Following recent developments in the Middle East, the Philippine flag carrier announced it will resume its four-times weekly service between Manila and Dubai (PR658/PR659) on October 2. The outbound flight PR658 will depart every Monday, Wednesday, Friday, and Saturday at 1250H and arrive at Dubai at 1800H. The return flight PR659 will depart Dubai at 0745H before arriving back at Manila at 0910H the following morning.

The airline previously planned to resume its services on the Manila-Dubai route on August 2.  

“We continue to closely monitor the situation and will restore full capacity as conditions allow. Updates will be communicated to affected passengers accordingly.”

After the start of the Middle East conflict at the end of February, Philippine Airlines suspended its flights to Dubai, Doha, and Riyadh. The airline has since resumed flights to Riyadh and Doha.
