Spotlight: Philippine Airlines to Resume International Flights

Philippine Airlines Inc. plans to resume its international flights at the end of the month after consultations with potential investors. The airline would initially fly the Manila-San Francisco-Los Angeles-Manila route three times a week, beginning Oct. 29. The financially ailing airline revived domestic flights on Oct. 7 after Philippine President Joseph Estrada persuaded PAL’s biggest union to accept a management offer of 20% equity in exchange for a freeze on strikes.
