Philippine Airlines Pulling All Aircraft Out Of Storage

[@NeonSamurai4381]

The A350-1000 makes perfect sense for PAL. I also hope they get a new business class.

[@EpicThe112]

It does but for PR they're up against the Hong Kongers who have them too. Ask Hong Kongers/Taiwanese on this A35K debate they'll side with their version better than PAL version

[@michaelsloan9085]

I have flown with Philippine Airlines...my partner is Filipino and I had a great and smooth experience with them. I flew just after the country reopened to travellers in April of 2022.

Not yet. The 777-300ERs aren’t that old. They average around 6-7 years old I think.

[@ianendangan7462]

777 were bought when PAL seeks more 747. The Boeing salesteam urged them to buy 777 instead. PAL before was restricted thus buying US planes and security equipment would improve US access.

I’ve flown with PAL a long time ago (together with my relatives), starting in 2015. After that, I haven’t flown that airline again (because together with my relatives, I’ve flown mostly other Airlines like Cebu Pacific) until my upcoming airtrip to Manila & Clark, Pampanga on 4-day trip (May-30-June 02, 2023). Also, I’m too young to remember that I’ve flew with PAL during my early childhood, just according to my aunt.

[@rinotilde2699]

I used to fly a lot (from childhood to university) with PAL until my father's mileage points ran out. I only had good experiences with them. These days I fly with them only on some occasions as Cebu Pacific is cheaper.

Too bad they lost 4 A350's in bankruptcy proceedings, . May take some time to get their widebody fleet up and running again.... Probably flying the 777's for longer than expected until they can implement fleet renewal plans for future needs !! .

[@pushslice]

Those 777s are so dang old and tired. The ones I flew in last year felt like an old city bus. They’re given no time to rest , given they lost those 4 350s. For the trip I just got back from I wasn’t going to go through that again , and flew ANA instead to MNL. Way better.

[@Shinobeii13]

News actually says they filed section 11 to protect them from full bankruptcy and NOW they are set for profitable years which is why they are considering buying the 350-1000's

[@pushslice]

@mrgreatwesternrailwayprodu4680 Sorry, but how do you mean ? PAL has NO orders in for those aircraft . If I’m wrong in that intel, please share a link to correct me. It takes several years to fulfill an order .

I’ve not flown with PAL for ages. Unless they open a Manila-Madrid route, I will be contented with my current airline.

[@hillroberts1311]

I hope PAL also will do Malaga or Madrid to Manila. That'd be a great thing to do. Please PAL, do Spain-Manila route!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@goldcoastbloke1330]

I agree! I am based here in Calle De Alcala. I really wanted to take PAL everytime I go to the 🇵🇭. After all, Philippines was under the Spaniard colony for more than 300years! There’s heaps of Filo communities here in España. Most of them, u wont even detect as Filipino coz they mixed & look more of español already.

That can work and this forces PR to compete with Oneworld alliance IB & CX MNL-HKG-MAD-AGP. Keep in mind IB partner CX does offer a better service than PR

Would love to see PAL fly from Manchester UK not simply Heathrow.

Can you add Manila - Orlando route via Australia, New Zealand, Hawaii and California?

[@101rigel]

PAL needs to add flights to North America. There are far too many Filipinos living in Toronto but can only fly nonstop with PAL for only once a week. If one will fly from Toronto to Manila on their chosen date, they need to book a domestic flight to Vancouver first before riding a PAL aircraft to Manila. That's why most Filipinos book Korean Air/JAL instead, they don't mind the stop because of pricing and flight availability. I don't know, maybe it just boils down to aircraft economics.

There's one immediate reason why PAL is pulling out all of planes out of storage: As of this writing (April 4) the Holy Week travel rush is underway. Now remember, the Philippines is a predominantly Christian country, and its dominant Christian denomination is the Roman Catholic Church. From noontime of Holy Wednesday to Easter Sunday, its public holidays, so families take advantage of this by traveling to the provinces to be with their families or to go to popular tourist spots, and quite many also take overseas vacations as well. Its an all planes on deck operation and its the busiest time for all Philippine-based airlines, outside the Christmas season.
