The Guam-Manila flight is an important service for Guam residents seeking medical care in the Philippines and Philippines travelers looking to connect to the mainland U.S. through Guam and Honolulu. We are pleased to be able to offer our customers more flights between Guam and Manila and return to our daily schedule.”
With the addition of Monday and Thursday schedules, flights will depart and arrive at A. B. Won Pat International Airport, Guam and land and depart from Terminal 3 at the Ninoy Aquino International Airport in Manila.
