Philippine Airlines (PAL) took to the skies on March 15, 1941,
laying claim to the distinction of Asia’s first airline. It has
a rich seven-decade history steeped in tradition and modernity.
As the pioneer national flag carrier of the Republic of the
Philippines, PAL showcases the best of the Filipino people and
the country – warm hospitality, refreshing smiles, attentive
service and an eagerness to please the passenger/customer as
though a personal house guest.
From its modern hubs at the Centennial Terminal 2 of the Ninoy
Aquino International Airport in Manila and the Mactan
International Airport in Cebu, PAL serves 45 destinations – 20
domestic and 25 international points in 13 countries and
territories.
PAL code-share arrangements allowing PAL to add more domestic
and international points to its route network.
PAL operates an all-jet fleet of 38 aircraft – five Boeing
747-400s, two Boeing 777-300ERs, four Airbus 340-300s, eight
Airbus 330-300s, 15 Airbus 320-200s and four Airbus 319s – all
meticulously maintained by one of the region's best aircraft
maintenance service providers – Lufthansa Technik Philippines.
The two-class configured A320 and A319 jets make PAL the only
Philippine carrier offering business-class service in the
domestic market.
Upgrades in the fleet and cabin amenities, complemented by
world-class aircraft maintenance, enable PAL to keep its flights
flying on schedule and on time – achieving a consistent record
of above-standard schedule reliability and on-time performance.
From Kuala Lumpur, PAL allow four times daily connection VIA
Singapore to Manila and beyond including code sharing with
Malaysian Airlines two times daily Kuala Lumpur and Manila
direct.
