Talk:PAL Express

Category Airlines of the Philippines removed

I have removed Category:Airlines of the Philippines from this article as it is not an airline. PAL Express is merely another operating name/trademark for Philippine Airlines. It does not hold an AOC, it is not an independent company. It is the same as all of the other article subjects which are found in Category:Regional airline brands; they are not companies, but merely brands. --Россавиа ^Диалог 18:31, 16 June 2008 (UTC)

Merge with Airphil Express

Can anyone merge this article with Airphil Express? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Manilaskies (talk • contribs) 05:29, 20 March 2013 (UTC)

Merger proposal

• I propose that Airphil Express be merged into PAL Express (this article) for reasons Overlap and Duplicate (see WP:Merge). Airphil was renamed back to PAL Express on March 2013. Additional input is invited. -adkranz (talk) 23:43, 25 September 2013 (UTC)

• Oppose Airphil Express and PAL Express (current) refer to two very different airlines. While the latter is still officially called "Air Philippines Corporation" and is for all intents and purposes a separate airline from mainline PAL, the former was marketed as a separate airline but with the benefit of PAL codeshares. PAL Express shares livery, interline and frequent flier benefits with mainline PAL, and we see PAL increasingly marketing PAL and PAL Express as one single airline. That was not the case when Airphil Express was still around. --Sky Harbor ^(talk) 00:18, 26 September 2013 (UTC)

• Oppose Two very different companies. The Philippine Airlines company's PAL Express was another airline (another brand, same company) when Air Philippines was around. The Air Philippines' company rebranded to Airphil Express and later rebranded to what is now PAL Express. The ormer PAL Express owned by Philippine Airlines no longer exists and the current PAL express is the one operated by the former Air Philippines (Airphil Express). --User ⁵⁰ 12:28, 26 September 2013 (UTC)

• Strong Support "Airphil Express" or "Air Philippines" doesn't fly anymore and is officially rebranded to "PAL Express", sister company/subsidiary/whatever of Philippine Airlines that flies to domestic destinations in the Phils. Their history should be merged because the separate articles are confusing right now. Raykyogrou0 (Talk) 11:04, 28 September 2013 (UTC)
  • This is not Asian Spirit which logically became Zest Airways (and in fact, Asian Spirit should be split into its own separate article). Airphil Express had a separate existence as an airline prior to becoming the "new PAL Express", so how do you rectify that with the fact that PAL Express also had a separate existence independent of the two airlines (a regional brand of PR which was, for all intents and purposes, considered as mainline PR) to begin with? --Sky Harbor ^(talk) 23:53, 28 September 2013 (UTC)
