PAL to bring back direct Dubai–Manila flights starting October 2026

Philippine Airlines (PAL), the Philippines’ flag carrier, will resume operating nonstop flights between Dubai and Manila beginning October 2, 2026.

PAL will initially operate four weekly flights between Dubai and Manila, restoring direct air links between the Middle East’s most important commercial and travel gateways and the Philippines.

The airline plans to progressively increase frequencies back to daily service as operational considerations allow.

The resumption of Dubai flights will strengthen connectivity for overseas Filipinos, business travelers, tourists, and cargo customers traveling between the United Arab Emirates and the

Philippines. The Philippines also serves as a strategic gateway for travelers from the Middle East to destinations across Southeast Asia and the Asia-Pacific region.

To mark the return of its Dubai–Manila non-stop services, Philippine Airlines will offer an introductory all-in roundtrip fare starting from AED 2,740 for a limited period, subject to applicable terms and conditions.

Flight Schedules (beginning October 2, 2026):

PR 659 Dubai-Manila – every Monday, Wednesday, Friday and Saturday, departing Dubai at 7:45 pm and arriving in Manila at 9:10 am +1.

PR 658 Manila-Dubai – every Monday, Wednesday, Friday and Saturday, departing Manila at 12:50 pm and arriving in Dubai at 6:00 pm.
