Philippine Airlines fleet modernization

Overview

Philippine Airlines has begun deploying its Airbus A350-1000 aircraft on a daily basis for the Manila to San Francisco route to meet year-end travel demand. While the aircraft offers increased capacity and improved fuel efficiency, some passenger reviews have noted inconsistencies regarding Wi-Fi functionality and crew attentiveness.

Following this deployment, the carrier finalized agreements with Airbus and Rolls-Royce to acquire nine additional A350-1000 aircraft, bringing its total commitment for this model to 18 units. This expansion, which includes purchase rights for five more aircraft and Rolls-Royce Trent XWB-97 engines, is part of a long-haul fleet modernization program to support international growth on transpacific routes to North America.
