Philippine Airlines plans to return to India in December 2026 with direct flights from Manila to Delhi and Mumbai. The airline said the routes still need approval from Indian authorities.

Delhi would get three weekly flights, on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays. Mumbai would get four, on Tuesdays, Thursdays, Saturdays and Sundays. The carrier plans to use Airbus A321neo aircraft.

Each aircraft would have 168 seats: twelve lie-flat business class seats and 156 in economy.

The airline had planned services to both Indian cities in 2018 but did not launch them at the time.
