Philippine Airlines (PAL) announced on Tuesday its intention to acquire up to 14 more Airbus A350-1000 aircraft. This move is part of a significant upgrade to its long-haul fleet. The announcement follows PAL's recent order for up to 20 Boeing 787-10 Dreamliner jets, marking its first order from Boeing in nearly 20 years.

Expanding Long-Haul Capabilities

The new order includes nine confirmed A350-1000s, with purchase rights for five additional aircraft. This acquisition will position the A350-1000 as PAL's flagship for long-haul operations. PAL currently operates two Airbus A350-1000s on key routes, including non-stop flights from Manila to New York and Toronto. Seven more A350-1000s from a previous order are expected to be delivered by 2028.

Future of International Operations

Lucio Tan, president and chief operating officer of PAL parent PAL Holdings Inc., stated, "The A350-1000 will continue to define the future of our international operations for many years to come." The fresh orders are expected to be delivered between 2034 and 2036. This strategic move underscores PAL's commitment to modernizing its fleet and enhancing passenger experience on long-haul flights.
