Philippine Airlines has signed a Memorandum of Understanding with Airbus for the purchase of nine Airbus A350 aircraft. The airline hopes to integrate these aircraft into its current long-haul operations, specifically for flights between Manila and North America. (aeroxplorer.com) 更多...
Never understood why they got rid of their existing 350's to begin with.... they were already bought and paid for. They sold them (save for 2) to Luft at a loss and now have to shell out nearly twice as much for replacements. That was dumb.
Anyhow - I have flown in their 350s for years between the US and MNL... and it is a fantastic aircraft to be locked up in for almost 15 hours. Quiet, comfortable, great seats, great staff. The 777s are good too - but between the two of them, the 350 is the way to go. It will be nice to ride the new ones in 2025.
