12 July 2014
The Russian Federation and the Philippine government has agreed Thursday to update its Air Services Agreement (ASA) by providing flight entitlements and overflight rights to the vast Russian Airspace where its respective flag carrier, Aeroflot and Philippine Airlines also agreed on the commercial terms for its service early this week.
The Civil Aeronautics Board (CAB) met its Russian counterpart Tuesday in Manila.
While the two states have a mutual air service agreement, there was no provisions for seat entitlements other than the proposed route structure and the general agreement which prevented Russian and Philippine carriers from providing regular flight services between the two countries.
Russian tourists were among the top 10 foreign visitors to the country numbering close to 30,000 in 2013 mostly coming from the central and eastern region.
The Annex to the Air Services Agreement scheduled for implementation on 14 July 2014 will pave the way for Philippine Airlines (PAL) to overfly the Siberian Airspace towards North America and Europe for the first time in the airline's history.
PAL used to fly North America via Alaska for its flight to Toronto instead of a more direct path via Siberia. It also flies Europe following the routes via Bangkok, India and Iran, which is the same route flown by other EU and ASEAN carriers from Bangkok.
With the current agreement, PAL can now fly Toronto or New York on a more direct flight to Manila or London - Manila via Western and Central Russia saving the airline passengers 2-3 hours of travel time.
The new agreement also paves the way for PAL to profitably fly their A340-343X fleet to other European Cities such as Frankfurt, Paris and Amsterdam via the shorter Russian route which would otherwise be payload-restricted.

Wäre schön für mich wenn das bald Realität werden würde.
