New Zealand and Philippine Airlines

Philippine Airlines (PAL) is the flag carrier of the Philippines. It has a history dating back to 1941, when it was founded as Philippine Aerial Taxi Company (PATCO). The airline has been through a number of name changes and ownership changes, but it remains one of the largest and most successful airlines in the Philippines.

In 1970, PAL began operating flights to New Zealand. In the early years, the airline had a strong presence in the New Zealand market, flying to Auckland, Christchurch and Wellington. However, as competition grew, PAL withdrew from the New Zealand market in 2004. In recent years, there has been increasing demand for flights between the Philippines and New Zealand, and PAL has announced plans to resume services to New Zealand soon.
