On February 26, flag carrier Philippine Airlines (PAL) said that it will be flying to three new destinations in China starting from March, in time for summer which is a peak travel season.

The carrier has introduced regular flights to China's Chongqing, Chengdu and Macau SAR, PAL said in a statement.

It will be flying twice-weekly to the western city of Chongqing starting from March 14, followed by a similar frequency to neighboring Chengdu on March 18.

On the other hand, the carrier will launch a five-times-weekly service to the special administrative region of Macau on May 1.

"This will boost the flag carrier's China service to 23 flights weekly to five destinations on the Chinese mainland including Beijing, Shanghai, Xiamen, Chongqing and Chengdu, plus the special administrative regions of Hong Kong and Macau," the company said.
