Emirates and PAL to explore new code-sharing and cargo partnership

Emirates Airline and Philippine Airlines (PAL) are exploring the potential of expanding their partnership through a possible reciprocal code-sharing agreement. This collaboration would cover flights between the Philippines and Dubai and potentially extend to additional routes beyond their current gateways. If realized, this partnership would offer travelers improved connectivity to destinations beyond the airlines' individual networks. Customers would benefit from the convenience of a single ticket, a unified fare, and one consistent baggage policy throughout their journey.

Both airlines plan to examine opportunities to strengthen their cargo interline cooperation. Additionally, they aim to exchange best practices in ground handling, catering, maintenance, and technical training. They also intend to organize joint familiarization trips for key media and trade stakeholders.

The airlines' relationship initiated with an enhanced interline agreement signed in March 2023. This agreement has linked travelers to ten domestic locations via Cebu and Clark, as well as nine international destinations through Dubai. Passengers have enjoyed smooth travel experiences with convenient baggage handling across the two carriers' networks.
