Struggling To Grow? The Fleet Of Philippine Airlines In 2024

Рет қаралды 49,233

Ай бұрын

On the surface, not much has changed with the fleet of Philippine Airlines since our last deep dive into this carrier and its collection of aircraft. When we put out a video in October 2022 on this airline, it had 76 aircraft. Now, about one and a half years later, it has 79. Since the last Philippine Airlines fleet examination, we’ve seen the airline log its first post-pandemic profit. No doubt good news for executives working in Manila!
At the same time, however, we’ve also seen reports that the airline was facing difficulties in finding available Airbus A350 or Boeing 777 aircraft to meet the post-pandemic demand. As a result of the struggle, it has placed an order for brand new A350-1000s while reportedly considering newer replacements for its A330 fleet in the next few years.

PAL's biggest mistake was selling some of its A350s to Lufthansa. Because of this it uses ancient A330s with cramped interiors.

The pandemic hit some of the Asian airlines are really hard, like Cathay for example, so PAL have done well to survive. Having to wait a little bit longer for planes is unfortunate, but at least the business is still going.

I don't know but after recovering from Chapter 11 bankruptcy, PAL seems to be very cautious if not outright hesitant in expanding and modernizing its fleet. Hope they reconsider and add more A330 neos and A350's as well.

On the case of A330neos it unclear weather the will pattern the configuration both after the A330ceos registered from RP-C8780 to RP-C8789 and RP-C8763 to RP-C8771, but the best configuration should be a 290-seater composed of 32 business class seats, 28 premium economy and 230 in the economy class

It’s nice to see PAL featured. I hope that they start considering their next order to replace a few of their older A330ceos. (PAL has a mix of newer and older A330ceos) It’s rumoured that PAL is looking at both the A330neo and 787 for that. We should expect the orders to be announced in the next 2-3 years. Both the A330neo and 787 have their pros and cons in relation to PAL’s operations. The A330neo would be an obvious no-brainer if PAL seeks to continue with fleet commonality. The A330 is proven type and if anything, forms a major backbone of PAL’s international network, mainly for Middle Eastern and most of its Asia-Pacific and Oceanic routes. The neo shares a lot in common with the ceo, and PAL doesn’t have to spend a lot on retraining pilots and maintenance crews. The disadvantage is that the A330 is an older design and it wouldn’t be as efficient as the 787. The 787 on the other hand, would be a new type for PAL. Being a clean sheet design, It would allow greater operational flexibility as the plane would not only fulfill the A330ceo’s role perfectly, but its exceptional range and efficiency has the potential to allow PAL to expand into ultra long-haul markets in North America and Europe that dont see enough demand to justify using the 777 or A350. (Destinations like Istanbul, Las Vegas, and Rome) The disadvantage is that being a new type for PAL, the airline would have to spend quite a bit on retraining. The 787 does share a type rating with the 777… but PAL has a mostly Airbus fleet so it would factor in. In addition, PAL would need to hire new maintenance people specific to the 787, which would also cost a lot.

Letting go of the A350s was definitely a hard decision for the management but it had to be done to keep the arline afloat. Unfortunately, the cabin experience on older aircraft (particularly the A330) is severely lacking especially compared to the competition serving the same routes where the A330 is deployed.

The biggest thing holding back PAL imo is Manila's transfer/connecting flight facilities. Connecting via Manila is a nightmare, having to manually transfer your bags yourself (sometimes), no airside buses/people movers, and limited lounge/dining/shopping options. PAL also isnt helping itself with terrible scheduling, often resulting in 10 hour+ layovers. PAL would be in a stronger position if only they were able to capture the transit market too. Perhaps they should try working with the less congested international airports such as Cebu-Mactan and build better transit facilities and procedures there. PAL relies too much on the captive Filipino market to fill their seats for direct flights. They should really work on capturing the transit market too, especially the ASEAN-US market which is one of their relative strengths compared to other airlines in the region. Perhaps they can even try penetrating the PRC-Aus/NZ market too.

@minhyuklees1bebe902 Ай бұрын

Also their expensive ticket prices, a roundtrip flight to LAX with PR costs 52k in PHP while a flight with the likes of CI and BR is around 42-45k PHP. (My grandma recently went to the States and she flew with CI, while my mom flew with EK though she was headed for Florida and not California)

@erichanson134 19 күн бұрын

Id actually say, they are focusing a lot more on transit customers, maybe more so than before. I’ve noticed they are popular with Thai, Indonesian, Malaysian and Vietnamese flyers as a connection to North America. This is evidenced by the fact they fly wide bodies to Thailand somedays. Anyways, hopefully MNL will get better transit facilities soon. I like T1 but it’s entirely too cramped, lacking in amenities and needs an accessibility overhaul in order to be a reliable and comfortable transit hub.

It is going to be cramped if you want something better than it you might as well fly via HND on JL A35K SQ 3-3-3 A359 via SIN KE once they have theirs ICN TPE BR and DOH QR. If you want the combination of the five star rating of Japan and Singapore Airlines Eva Air Korean Air and Qatar Airways with the mainline Fleet of Philippine Airlines your answer is Hong Kong Cathay Pacific B-LXx A35Ks 3-3-3 sitting in economy class which would be an improvement over PR RP-C3509 and upwards 3-4-3 Fiesta class Philippine Airlines branding for economy class. Mention this to a Hong Konger on how PR went 3-4-3 on A35K they told me it is cramped absolutely terrible for a plane that's supposed to be 3-3-3

As a Filipino, PAL will now expansion next year through additional aircraft like A350-1000, and soon for the Philippine Airlines will purchase Boeing 777X once New Manila Interational Airport completed In my opinion, PAL does not purchase A330neo because Cebu Pacific has already ordered. PAL still flying A330ceo. In 2015 or 2014: PAL President and CEO Ramon S. Ang was reported from ABS-CBN NEWS in Manila, PAL planning to buy Boeing 787's maybe -8, -9, or -10

@puertoprincesaplanespots3984 Ай бұрын

Competition with the same aircraft type doesn't mean PAL cannot purchase the A330neo. It is advantageous to the fact that type commonality means minimal expenditures for training not only for the pilot's transition from A330ceo to A330neo, but also for the mechanics with the A330type rating without hiring new mechanics for another type. Plus, the basis of your news where Ang is planning to purchase such aircraft is obsolete already and a new person took over PAL already. Plus Ang messed up aircraft purchase back then by fitting PAL with "low-cost" style interior.

It would have been better, the flag carrier expanding , so do our airport and infrastructure leading to the new bulacan airport. The problem is not just with the pal’s fleet, but also the airport infrastructure and road infrastructure we currently have, it just cannot support additional planes and passengers. Thats the reason why arabic , hk, sg , etc were able to expand easily is because theyve really built a nice infrastructure that enabled them to become a hub. How can MNL be a hub with our current ifra? Traffic runway, traffic going to the airport, traffic going out from the airpot, traffic in the immigration. We should also modernize our airpot practices.

I hear that the A-380 might be making a comeback? If so I think it'll be prudent of PAL to purchase a couple, particularly as there's talk of a new state-of-the-art airport to constructed in the not to distant future. The land has already been set aside. Whether the original airport remains open is unknown.

@vincearvycabais7965 Ай бұрын

I'd beg to differ, actually. The A380 simply isn't an economical choice for airlines like PAL who do not operate on a hub-and-spoke mode (a good example of an airline which operates on a hub-and-spoke model would be Emirates, which operate 116 A380s). Current passenger numbers for PAL wouldn't justify the purchase as well, and then we've got the sheer cost to maintain the type, especially when compared to smaller twin-engine aircraft. Not a lot of airlines can justify the need for A380s, thus the reason why A380 production ended early.

Wrong PAL should be exposed its lot more worse than Cebu Pacific. PAL is a mediocre airline run by pesant staffs and oesant pilots. Their aircraft is like ancient by todays standarrds. Most of their aorcraft are second hand or even refurbished just like those surplus aircrafts that the americans give to the PhiliPenis. PAL have a good track record in terms of maintenance. But the cabin smells aweful it was reported that the AC System is not good air quality inside the aircraft is so bad. But the reason why PAL have food revoiews from independent aviation publications is because even the government pays huge amount of moeny to bribe. The philippije airlines first class is like the economy class of Singapore Airlines amd evem first class food are philippine food which we all know very unhealthy full of fats and carcinogens.
