SHANGHAI – In a bid to soar new heights and conquer more miles, Philippine Airlines opened the doors to their newly renovated Shanghai Office on 18 February 2025 at Shanghai’s posh Jing’An District.

The event was attended by PCG and PDOT personnel led by Consul John Francis S. Herrera, and joined by an intimate crowd composed of tour and chartered flight operators, PAL officers and employees, and select members of the Filipino community.

In his welcome remarks, Consul Herrera underscored the importance of tourism to heighten people to people exchanges between the Philippines and China, and shared his hope that more tourists would soon land on Philippine shores. Consul Herrera also cited some top Philippine tourist destinations and briefly introduced them to the Chinese-majority crowd.

Philippine Airlines renewed presence in Shanghai marks the beginning of a new year with an anticipated increase in the travel appetite of Chinese tourists, resembling pre-pandemic levels and the Consulate General in Shanghai stands ready to assist PAL and other airlines in capturing this very promising market.
