I wasn't aware that PR has returned even some of their Tri-class A330s. To think that they invested quite some money into these refurbishments.

How many 3C A330s did they have and how many have they returned?

Re: Philippine Aviation Thread - 2020

Is this the first EU A330N to fly into the country?..... A TAP A339 visited MNL during the A330neo promotional tour. Also, last week, when the Mormons chartered 5 Delta widebodies to fly its missionaries out of MNL, at least on oof them was an A330neo. https://scontent.fceb2-1.fna.fbcdn.net/v/t1.0-...

Any Sources? The UK CAA publishes passengers transported by airlines and PR seems to be carrying more than VN and VN flies to and from Ho Chi Minh and Hanoi. If I'm not mistaken, on some days, layover times for Aus-UK via MNL requires an overnight stay. Sorry, I can't recall where but I think I rea...

Lucio "Bong" Tan Jr. has passed away. Condolences to the family.

This puts the airline's internal power struggle into further uncertainty.

Re: Philippine Aviation Thread - 2019

Any news on RP-C3503 ? Hasn't flown for a month or so. Struck by lightning, IIRC in HKG and returned to MNL for repair at LTP, which is still ongoing. Reported to have a damaged cargo door. Not sure if hit by ground equipment or if indeed due to lightning. https://twitter.com/miguelrcamusINQ/status...

Re: Philippine Aviation Thread - 2019

Personal recommendation for improvement: 2.) I think MIAA should consider opening an express line for premium passengers at NAIA to help minimize the crowding at security lines This is something they should have been doing long ago even before in T3. Even when you fly Business with Cathay, SQ, or E...

*Video Only* Philippine Airlines PR720: MNL-LHR (Business Class | A350)

This was a trip taken in early February 2019. Philippine Airlines is the only carrier that offers direct non-stop flights to London Heathrow from Manila. They have recently upgraded their service to the A350-900 from the 777-300ER. This means that the flight now offers the Tri-Class layout, which me...
