It would be nice to have another airline flying long haul to Philippines. It could be good for tourism if it was considered a low cost option similar to Air Asia to Malaysia. People might stop to look at what the country has to offer. Although when checking Air Asia before it didn't work out that cheap.

I know it says late 2013 that these flights would be offered, but I thought the Philippines Aviation Industry have been put on blacklist to fly in European airspace?

How easy is it to get off one of these blacklists? Is the filipino government that invested in tourism to fix this? we shall see, I hope so though.
