TOKYO, JAPAN, March 21, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ -- As Philippine Airlines (PAL) marks its 85th anniversary, the flag carrier is strengthening its network between the Philippines and Japan, signaling a renewed push to boost tourism and connectivity. With an expanded route and enhanced services, PAL is offering travelers from Japan more opportunities—and more reasons—to explore the Philippines’ diverse destinations.
