I am quite excited if this might end up in a fare war.

It took PAL, what 2 years to get rid of Hawaiian? Of course I’ll be rooting for UA here. But UA is a much larger rival with better hard product. PAL would need to up their game.

Does UA impose a check in allowance embargo as did DL?

I am all for competition. I do hope more airlines fly into MNL from other cities.
