Philippine Airlines Orders Boeing 787-10, As Part Of Major Fleet Renewal
The airline said the Dreamliners will improve fuel efficiency by about 25% and support long-haul service as it renews its fleet.
- On Monday, July 20, Philippine Airlines announced an order for 15 Boeing 787-10s at the Farnborough International Airshow in London, including options for five additional jets marking its first Boeing purchase since 2007.
- Earlier this month, PAL raised $300 million through an inaugural international bond offering to fund fleet renewal and capitalize on surging regional and transpacific travel demand.
- The twin-engine jets offer 25 percent better fuel efficiency and seat up to 375 passengers, complementing the existing fleet of 10 Boeing 777-300ER aircraft for medium- and long-haul operations.
- "Philippine Airlines' selection of the 787 Dreamliner marks an important step forward in our partnership," Boeing Commercial Airplanes Chief Executive Officer Stephanie Pope said, with deliveries expected between 2031 and 2034.
- The transaction supports regional jobs through suppliers Moog, Collins Aerospace, and Jamco operating manufacturing facilities in the Philippines, aligning with PAL's preparation for expanded capacity from Manila airport infrastructure upgrades.
