Philippine Airlines Orders 10 More Airbus A330-300s

[HD video below] Philippine Airlines has placed a firm order with Airbus for an additional 10 A330-300 widebody aircraft.

The latest purchase agreement follows a major order from the airline in August for 44 single aisle A321s and 10 A330s under the carrier’s fleet modernisation programme.

For its latest order the airline has selected the 240 tonne high gross weight version of the A330, offering extra range capability. This will enable the airline to operate the aircraft non-stop from Manila to any destination in the Asia Pacific region, as well as to the Middle East and as far as Honolulu in the US.

“This additional order will complete our current medium-to-long range requirements under our fleet modernisation programme,” said PAL Chairman, Lucio Tan. “With the latest enhanced versions of the A330 we will be providing our passengers the highest levels of inflight comfort, while benefitting from the low operating costs offered by these super-efficient aircraft.”
