MANILA, Philippines -- Philippine Airlines (PAL) resumes regular daily service to Bangkok on Saturday, December 6, following the reopening of Suvarnabhumi Airport.
PAL’s first turnaround flight to Suvarnabhumi, PR 730 / PR 731, will utilize a wide-body, 264-seater Airbus A340-300 aircraft in order to accommodate spillover passengers who had to defer their trips due to the eight-day closure of Thailand’s main gateway after it was occupied by anti-government protesters.
From December 7 and until further notice, PAL’s service will revert to the narrow-body, 156-seater Airbus A320 jet.
The previous regular schedules will be observed, with PR 730 departing Manila daily at 10:30 a.m. and arriving in Bangkok at 1 p.m.
The return flight, PR 731, departs Bangkok at 2 p.m. and lands in Manila at 6:25 p.m.
PAL canceled flights to Bangkok on November 26 when protesters overran Suvarnabhumi, forcing the closure of the facility.
The airline deployed a 433-seater Boeing 747-400 on a special flight to the northern Thai city of Chiang Mai on December 1 to ferry home stranded passengers.
A second special flight on December 2, a wide-body Airbus A330-300, brought home another 302 passengers.
