PAL orders nine A350-1000s for fleet modernization

Philippine Airlines (PAL) plans to modernize its fleet with nine Airbus A350-1000 jets, aiming to enhance passenger experience and fuel efficiency.

The first of these aircraft is currently being built at the Airbus Toulouse assembly line in France and will be delivered to the Philippines by the end of 2025.

These next-generation jets will replace PAL's Boeing 777-300ERs, offering advanced features such as Wi-Fi, flight entertainment systems, spacious seating, and reduced jet lag.

PAL president Richard Nuttall emphasized that these aircraft are crucial for responding to the demands of their growing market both regionally and internationally.

The airline plans to deploy these aircraft on its key routes to North America and Canada starting with Los Angeles, San Francisco, Toronto, and New York.
