Airlines In The Philippines IV

[JNC03]

"This is nothing new but quite tired of false narratives targeted at undermining our operations in the Philippines. I'll call it what it is. A coordinated effort by our competitors who want a monopoly and want us out of the market!"

-Tony Fernandes

Hmm…PR is going to announce something this weekend. I’m guessing they will join or at least have some deeper relationship with Oneworld carriers. The phrase is “We are aligning with the world’s finest”

I can’t disclose my source as of the moment. But let’s just wait for the official announcement. I was told not to disclose too much and I’m also in the guessing game

If it's this weekend then I guess we don't have to wait too long either way. Cautiously optimistic but we'll see. I saw in the news that PAL recently had some kind of media event (where they also confirmed that Sapporo is returning later this year), so maybe that had something to do with it.

The last time a PAL A350 tested without the livery is RP-C3507, first lovebus of the airline

[kilohakdog]

Haha! Let’s wait if there is indeed a special livery of sort for this fourth A35K 👌🏽

As per PAL Holdings  recent stockholders meeting, here is the tally of airline's codeshare partners according to airline alliances



5 for oneworld
4 for skyteam
3 for star alliance

Hi, new here.

So this happened before the recently announced QF partnership?

Hi,

Aeroroutes just posted several flight reductions by PAL starting Aug through Oct 2026:

LAX (reduce to 12 weekly from 11SEP-28SEP)
SFO (cancelled flights for specific dates in Sept and Oct)
YVR (cancelled flights for specific dates in Sept and Oct)
SEA (reduction from 5 to 4 weekly starting AUG 11 2026)

I guess a host of reasons.

3Q, generally the leanest season. It’s also good the reduce some flights as fuel is expensive nowadays

[JNC03]

Usual for airlines in the Philippines on Q3, demand will go back to normal and even double during Q4

Cebu Pacific is also leasing some of its A320neo to airlines need it

[Gustavo J Oppenheimer]

I'm pretty sure that announcement will happen today

I guess you know someone from PAL. Just 12 hours more and it will be revealed.

[Gustavo J Oppenheimer]

Well my loved ones do have friends from PAL, but i havent asked about this. Just my hunch, anyway can't wait for midnight :)

[JNC03]

So it will be from overseas

A announcement 12 hours from now in midnight Philippine time is an announcement made outside Philippines

[AnonBoy]

i wonder what this whole "announcement" is all about.

[kilohakdog]

What are you cooking, PAL? Excited on what will that announcement be
