PAL acquires 5 more A320 aircraft for domestic network
Philippine Airlines (PAL) has received the first of five additional Airbus A320 aircraft intended to boost its domestic operations.
The airline expects three more A320s by the end of 2025 and another three in 2026, all configured to seat 180 passengers.
This expansion aims to increase flight frequencies and improve connections between major hubs and regional destinations.
PAL Express President Rabbi Vincent Ang stated the expanded fleet will offer more dependable, convenient, and comfortable travel options.
The acquisition is part of PAL's broader fleet modernization strategy, including A350-1000s for long-haul routes and new A321neo jets.
PAL aims to maintain and improve its on-time performance with the right-sized fleet.
This comes after recent flight cancellations and delays affecting various carriers, including PAL, due to a software update for the Airbus A320 family, which has since been resolved.
