PH, Australia airlines increase passenger seats

The Philippines and Australia have agreed to increase the airline seat entitlements in flights between the two countries from 6,000 to 9,300 seats per week, a senior official of the Civil Aeronautics Board (CAB) said on Thursday.

CAB Executive Director Carmelo Arcillas said the two countries also agreed to allow “third country code sharing,” which will allow designated airlines to operate joint services with an airline of a third country to improve market distribution.
