PAL has taken away more than 100 seats from eight all-economy A330s to make the cabin more spacious. Since 1999, PAL has been operating out of the Naia Terminal 2, brand new under President Estrada. Meanwhile, PAL has shifted arrivals of its US-originating flights to Terminal 1 and its Middle East flights to Terminal 3. Says PAL: “The existing contract between PAL and Pagcor is legal, valid and based on the terms negotiated by both parties three years ago.” PAL thus expects Pagcor to respect the terms of this contract. Because of infra constraints and congestion at Naia, our main airport, the Philippines and PAL cannot grow as fast we want to.
