Philippine Airlines reiterated that stricter health safety measures will be implemented given the coronavirus pandemic:

• Thermal scans before entering ticket office; no mask, no entry for all visitors
• Managed social distancing inside ticketing office
• PAL staff wearing face masks
• Transparent barriers at the counter
• Passengers are advised to check-in online and be at the airport early—four hours before international departures and three hours before domestic departures from airports in the Philippines
• Face masks required for all flights
• Up to two kilos allowed from the original seven kilos carry on
• For Free Baggage Allowance: 5 kilos added to passenger's FBA
• Passengers may carry on board up to 10 100ml bottles of sanitizers with up to 70% alcohol
• Rigorous cabin cleaning and disinfection
• Simplified meal or snack service
• Social Distancing cabin seating options
• HEPA filters to purify cabin air

PAL said that the aircraft are equipped with advanced cabin air systems that continuously infuse fresh air across the cabin. Also, PAL cabin crew will be wearing full personal protective equipment (PPE) while onboard, and will undergo medical evaluation prior to the duty.

"The onboard air creates a controlled and cleaner environment comparable to hospital operating rooms that is safer than most enclosed public spaces," it said.

The flag carrier has already partially resumed regular commercial flights to various domestic destinations and key international cities in the US, Asia, Europe, Australia, the Middle East, and Canada.
