Philippine Airlines Direct Flights to Delhi, Mumbai are set to begin in December 2026, creating new nonstop air links between Manila and two of India’s major cities.
The planned services are still subject to approval from the Indian government.
The new routes are expected to make travel between the Philippines and India more convenient for passengers travelling for business, leisure and cultural visits.
Philippine Airlines Direct Flights to Delhi, Mumbai
Philippine Airlines plans to operate nonstop Manila-Delhi flights three times a week. Flight PR642 will leave Manila on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays at 10:40 pm and reach Delhi at 3:00 am the following day.
The return service, PR643, will operate from Delhi to Manila on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays. It is scheduled to depart Delhi at 8:15 am and arrive in Manila at 5:00 pm.
Manila-Mumbai Flights to Operate Four Days a Week
The airline also plans to launch a direct Manila-Mumbai service. Flight PR646 will operate from Manila to Mumbai on Tuesdays, Thursdays, Saturdays and Sundays.
The planned departure time from Manila is 10:40 pm, with arrival in Mumbai scheduled for 3:05 am the following day. The return PR647 service will operate on Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays and Sundays.
All published flight timings are local times and could be subject to change.
Airbus A321neo to Operate New India Routes
Philippine Airlines plans to operate both new routes with its 168-seat Airbus A321neo aircraft. The aircraft will have 12 lie-flat Business Class seats and 156 Economy Class seats.
The airline said the new services will also increase its cargo capacity between the Philippines and India, allowing shipments to connect with its wider international cargo network.
New Manila Connections for Indian Travellers
The planned services will provide direct connectivity between Manila and Delhi as well as Mumbai.
Delhi is an important gateway to northern India, while Mumbai is a major financial and commercial centre.
The launch will also add another airline option on the India-Philippines travel corridor.
Air India already operates nonstop services between Delhi and Manila, having launched its route in October 2025.
The Philippine Airlines services remain subject to Indian government approval. Travellers should therefore check the airline’s latest schedule and booking information before making travel plans.
