Ich trau meinen Augen kaum...

Daß ist der Witz des Tages!

Wenn die das machen und in Deutschland auch noch Tickets verkauft bekommen glaube ich an den Untergang des Reisebürowesens in Deutschland.

PAL working on resumption of flights to India, Europe

TAIPAN Lucio Tan is pushing for the resumption of Philippine Airlines' flights to India and Europe, particularly Italy, before 2006, according to PAL president and chief operating officer Avelino Zapanta.

 

Zapanta said Tan, chairman and chief executive officer of the country's flag carrier, had given the airline two years to work on this.

 

But before the flag carrier can resume flights to India and Europe, the Philippines needed to forge an air agreement with New Delhi and the different European countries.

 

PAL, Asia's oldest airline, stopped flying to India as early as 1954 when then president Ramon Magsaysay issued a policy to stop foreign flights in favor of a rural development program.

 

Services to Europe were stopped in 1998 at the height of a stand-off between the airline's management and flight and ground crew.

 

After years of absence, he said PAL was planning to return to these two destinations.

 

Civil Aeronautics Board executive director Tomas Manalac said India had indicated willingness to hold air talks with the country. India has already drafted an air deal proposal but the Philippines had yet to respond to it, he said.

 

According to Zapanta, PAL wanted to take advantage of the growing tourism and information technology industries in India. The flag carrier also wanted to cash in on the increasing deployment of Filipino overseas workers to Europe, particularly in Italy.

 

"PAL began flying to India in 1946, particularly to New Delhi and Calcutta. PAL is the first international airline they saw there," he said.

 

The number of Indian tourists flying overseas was expected to jump to six million this year, up 30 percent from 2003.

@ MHG: Ich verstehe ehrlich gesagt dein Problem nicht ganz... Wie meinst Du das mit dem Untergang des Reisebürowesens??

[flusifan]

also ich finde es cool das sie bald wieder nach Eurpa kommen wollen. derzeit fleigen sie ja nur codeshare mit KLM nach MNL

 

und dies ist ja eine recht seltene airline für uns Spotter. verkaufen wird es sich auch, viele fliegen ja via HKG und dann auf die verschiedenen inseln weiter.

lohnen würde es sich auf jeden fall
