PAGADIAN CITY | Philippine Airlines Ends Operations at Pagadian Airport
After nearly five years of serving Pagadian City and its neighboring areas, Philippine Airlines (PAL) has officially ceased its operations at Pagadian Airport. The final flight, PR 2784, departed on January 14, 2025, at 5:05 PM (1705H), carrying 58 passengers.
This marked the end of PAL's connection to the city, which began with the aim of providing greater accessibility and convenience to travelers in the region.
The decision to discontinue the service was primarily driven by the consistently low passenger volume, which made the route unsustainable in the long run.
Despite efforts to maintain the service, the airline faced challenges in generating sufficient demand to justify continued operations.
Philippine Airlines expressed its gratitude to the people of Pagadian and nearby areas for their support throughout the years.
The airline remains committed to serving the Mindanao region through other routes and will continue exploring opportunities to connect more destinations across the country.
