If you book a ticket to the Philippines, you will most likely end up in Manila Airport as the final destination for the flight. But to get to your final destination within the Philippines, you'll probably need a domestic flight with an airlines from the Philippines.It seems that there are a lot of people who never heard of any of the airlines in the Philippines and where they can book the flights. So here is a list of the most important airlines which will bring you to almost any island in the Philippines:
An Airbus A320 from Zest Air at Tagbilaran Airport, Philippines
Philippine Airlines (PAL) is the national airline of the Philippines. Flights are offered to almost all airports in the country and to international destinations in Asia, the Gulf States and the United States. There used to be flights to Europe too, but they were canceled since the insolvency of the airlines in 1998 due to rationalization measures. Prices for flights within the Philippines were largely adapted from the other low cost carriers in the country. Those who book early, can get a ticket from Manila to Cebu for about 20 US$. Philippine Airline starts in Manila at Terminal 2!
Cebu Pacific Air has declared itself a Low Cost Carrier a few years ago, sold all it's ancient aircraft (DC9) and now flies with a new and modern fleet of the Airbus A320 family and ATR 72 to almost all airports in the Philippines and the most important destinations in Asia (Bangkok, Singapore, Hong Kong, Taiwan, Kuala Lumpur and even China.). The prices for the flights can certainly be described as cheap but sometimes the airline makes some negative headlines when they cancel flights and doesn't care about their stranded passengers. Cebu Pacific starts in Manila from Terminal 3!
AirPhilExpress is the successor company of Air Philippines and is now a subsidiary of Philippine Airlines. The Airline operates a young fleet of the Airbus A320 family and serves at the most important airports in the Philippines. International destinations by now are only Singapore and Hongkong but that will increase as soon as they get new planes in their fleet. Prices for domestic flights are often very cheap if you book early. AirPhil Express operates in Manila from Terminal 3!
Zest Air is in turn the successor of the former Asian Spirit Airline. Once again, they said goodbye to some of their oldtimer aircraft and operate today a young and modern fleet of the Airbus 320 family.Zest air flies to about 26 destinations in the Philippines, as well as to Shanghai in China and Incheon and Pusan in Korea
South East Asian Airlines is a small airline with small planes, that mainly flies to the smaller airports in the Philippines with a short runway, such as Caticlan (Boracay), Romblon, Taytay and El Nido, Palawan, and Batanes Vigan, Luzon. They operate from the old domestic terminal in Manila.
