They are proposing two seat configurations. Don't know which exactly.

[JNC03]

10 abreast for LAX and SFO

For more longer flights 9 abreast only

🤔🤔

PAL 380 seater 35k 330Y


34J, 16 ECY on D1-D-2





 

[JNC03]

The cabin reveal is near I think since they will take the aircraft next year, the first A35K has a MSN already in TLS

[seven13]

2 A330s are currently unable to fly. 8764 is undergoing extended maintenance while PR682 (8766) yesterday diverted to BKK enroute to DMM due to decompression.

Lucky enough 3501 is now back in MNL.

Air India tentative schedule to MNL

Aircraft: B788
Frequency: 5x weekly

1600 DEL 0100 MNL
0300 MNL 0700 DEL

[Gustavo J Oppenheimer]

Is that their summer schedule? Where can I find this?

[JNC03]

The schedule is tentative, the final sched and the start of service will be announced in the next few weeks

[JNC03]

After the reconfiguration of 3501 they immediately deployed it to JFK

[Gustavo J Oppenheimer]

5J is now strengthening it's balance sheet ahead of the historic signing

Wow. Aircraft after aircraft being grounded with no immediate replacement. This will surely hurt them.

If these incidents do not convince the PAL BOD that they need a huge number of planes, I wonder what will. Not only is it hurting their reputations, but their finances are totally hammered as well. Recovery flights are very expensive. They need 2 to 3 planes on standby.

PAL  has a sasi sari store mentality in running the airline.  For us bisaya, this is called the inatò mentality.

Truth. Which will kill them if they continue with that mentality.

GAP DH8 is also in dire strait. Kapus din unit nila. Sagad ang schedule na walang reliever. Case in point, CEB-ZAM-CEB 2995/6 yesterday. Cancelled due to maintenance issue ng 5905. The same plane that has issue in Busuanga. The flight was flown today 4xxx by 5906. Like I said, before, there was always a reliever on standby. Now it will take a day for dispatch to get you a plane. Kaya their plan DPL opening from Mactan was immediately eaten by CEB with an Airbus plane. Excess traffic lost.

[xzibit31]

I hope they dont continue down the path they are taking. They should read the writing on the wall. Either they do something relevantly huge immediately or sell.....

I thought PAL was trying to sell excess prop planes and didn’t know where to fly them? Oh my.
