Follow Philippines Investment Immigration and Philippines News: The Philippines and Hong Kong recently signed a new air services agreement to increase weekly seat capacity. The new agreement will increase the number of weekly air seats between the Philippines and Hong Kong from the original 15,000 to 30,000 to meet the growing demand for air travel between the two regions. Both parties also agreed that, with the exception of Ninoy Aquino International Airport (NAIA), there will be no capacity restrictions at other international airports in the Philippines.
The new agreement signed with Hong Kong is the ninth air services agreement signed by the Philippines this year. Previously, the Philippines had successfully signed air agreements with Canada, Macau, France, Singapore, Ethiopia, South Africa, Myanmar, and New Zealand.
