QANTAS has applied to increase its services to the Philippines, seeking approval for daily flights between Sydney and Manila.
In an application to the International Air Services Commission (IASC), the carrier says it plans to boost its Manila flights to seven per week from 28 Oct and is seeking an additional allocation of 152 seats.
Qantas currently flies six services per week on the Sydney-Manila route, operated by Airbus A330-200 aircraft.
It has requested that the seats be available to a wholly-owned subsidiary, which would potentially allow Jetstar to enter the Philippines market.
The allocation is requested for a period of five years.
