PAL Supports “No Vaccine, No Ride” Policy of DOTr

Philippine Airlines (PAL) has expressed its strong support for the Department of Transportation’s (DOTr) initiatives to promote safe travel while the country is facing a surge of new COVID-19 cases brought about by the Omicron variant.

In a statement released by PAL, the airline said they welcome the “No Vaccination, No Ride” policy promulgated under DOTr’s Department Order No. 2022-001 for travel to and from the National Capital Region (NCR), as announced by DOTr Secretary Arthur P. Tugade.

“We laud the DOTr’s initiative to help the Filipino public embark on essential travels during the current crisis. We assure the public that PAL will do our part to uphold the strictest safety standards and health protocols in our continuing operation of our domestic and international flight network,” according to PAL President & COO Gilbert Santa Maria.

PAL operates a network of regular flights from its Manila and Cebu hubs to key cities around the Philippines and internationally to destinations in Asia, North America, Australia, and the Middle East.

“We are one with the DOTr and the Philippine air transport sector in working to sustain vital air services throughout the country, facilitating the delivery of urgent goods including lifesaving vaccines, and helping our OFWs and overseas Filipinos fly to their home provinces,” said PAL Express President Bonifacio Sam.
