PAL is flying direct between Cebu and Osaka once again, restoring the service on Dec. 22 using a 199-seater Airbus A321.

Initially, PAL is connecting Cebu and Osaka on a thrice weekly basis, but the airline will increase the frequency to four times a week starting Feb. 26.

Based on PAL's schedule, the flight takes off every Monday, Thursday and Sunday. By February, PAL will add Wednesday flights for travelers who want a midweek option.

PAL president and COO Stanley Ng said Osaka caters not only to leisure guests, but to business travelers as well.
