History 1940s-1950s

Philippine Airlines was founded on February 26, 1941, making it Asia's oldest carrier still operating under its current name. The airline was started by a group of businessmen led by Andres Soriano, hailed as one of the Philippines' leading industrialists at the time, who served as the General Manager, and former Senator Ramon Fernandez as Chairman and President. Government investment in September of the same year paved the way for its nationalization.

The airline’s first flight took place on March 15, 1941 with a single Beech Model 18 NPC-54 aircraft, which started its daily services between Manila (from Nielson Field) and Baguio City. Milestones in the History of PAL, PhilippineAirlines.com. Accessed September 2007. On July 22, the airline acquired the franchise of the Philippine Aerial Taxi Company. PAL services were interrupted during World War II, which lasted in the Philippines from 1942 to 1945. Upon the outbreak of the Pacific war on December 8 1941, the two Model 18s and their pilots were pressed into military service. They were used to evacuate American fighter pilots to Australia until one was shot down over Mindanao and the other was destroyed on the ground in an air raid on Surabaya, Indonesia.

On February 14 1946, PAL resumed operations after a five-year hiatus with services to 15 domestic points with five Douglas DC-3s and a payroll of 108 names. Philippine Airlines returned to its original home, the Nielsen Airport in Makati. The airport, heavily damaged during the war, was refurbished and modernized by PAL at a hefty cost of over PHP1 million. Nielsen soon became the premier airport in the country and was designated by the Philippine government as the official port of entry for all international flights. It had two runways of 7,000 feet (2,133 meters) and 4,000 feet (1,219 meters) length. The airport's first passenger terminal was a temporary one built around huts and later upgraded to a concrete structure. Nielsen Airport was operated by Manila International Air Terminal, Inc., a wholly owned PAL subsidiary.

On July 31 of the same year, PAL the first Asian airline to cross the Pacific Ocean, when a chartered Douglas DC-4 ferried 40 American servicemen to Oakland, California from Makati City with stops in Guam, Wake Island, Johnston Atoll and Honolulu. A regular service between Manila and San Francisco was started in December the same year. It was during this time that the airline was designated as the country’s flag carrier.Philippine Airlines Info Kit 1982, Philippine Airlines. 1982.

A year later saw PAL head to Europe with the acquisition of more Douglas DC-4's. By 1948 PAL had absorbed the only other scheduled airlines, Far Eastern Air Transport and Commercial Air lines.Flight International 12-18 April 2005 Following the government's decision to make Nichols Field in Pasay City, the site of a former U.S. Air Force base, the new Manila International Airport (MIA), PAL was required to move its base of operations and passenger terminal there from Nielsen Airport. The transfer was accomplished over a five-month period from January 31 to June 28, 1948. PAL invested an additional PHP600,000 in ground installations and improvements to Nichols Field. The airport's international runway and associated taxiway were built in 1953.

In 1951, PAL leased a DC-3 named Kinsei to Japan Airlines, which led to the founding of the country's own national airline. In 1954, the Philippine government suspended all long-haul international flights, only to resume five years later, when the government decided that it was a matter of national policy. In three years, PAL started services to Hong Kong, Bangkok, and Taipei using Convair 340s that would later be replaced by the Vickers Viscount, which bought the airline into the turboprop age.

1960s-1980s In the 1960s, PAL entered the jet age, initially with a lone Boeing 707, that was later replaced with Douglas DC-8 aircraft leased from KLM. The aircraft were used for long-haul international flights to Europe and the United States. The DC-3 remained the mainstay of the domestic services as it expanded to a total of 72 points as airports were improved or opened, but most of the airline's rural air service was later stopped in May 1964. In May 1966, PAL started its first domestic turbojet services to the Cebu City, Bacolod City, and Davao City using the BAC1-11. PAL was privatized in May 1966, when the Philippine government relinquished its share of PAL after Benigno Toda, Jr., the PAL board chairman from 1962, acquired a majority stake in the airline.

When President Ferdinand Marcos declared Martial Law, he implemented a one-airline policy. PAL was the lone surviving airline, absorbing Air Manila and Filipinas Orient Airways. On March 10, 1973 PAL was designated as the national flag carrier again. PAL continued expansion with the arrival of its first Douglas DC-10 in July 1974. Three years later, the Philippine government re-nationalized PAL, with the Government Service Insurance System holding a majority of PAL shares. In 1979, the Boeing 727 trijet, the Boeing 747, and the Airbus A300, dubbed the "Love Bus", joined the PAL fleet.

Between the years 1979-1981, as part of a comprehensive modernization program, PAL built a series of mammoth aviation-related facilities around the periphery of the MIA. These included:









On April 2 1982, a PAL Boeing 747 arriving from San Francisco via Honolulu became the first aircraft to dock at the new Ninoy Aquino International Airport#Terminal 1 in Parañaque. The new PHP800 million terminal, located some two kilometers from the old terminal, had 17 air-bridges and a capacity of 4.3 million passengers annually. PAL's facilities at the new MIA covered more than 1 million square feet and catered not only to the national flag carrier but also to many foreign airlines calling at Manila. PAL would later strengthen its cargo-handling capability by building a dedicated cargo terminal building adjacent to the MIA passenger terminal and installing cargo-refrigeration equipment in 1983. The new facilities, which catered mainly to international cargo services, enabled PAL to become a fully equipped cargo handler.

Following the "EDSA Revolution" in February 1986, Dante G. Santos became PAL president. He launched a massive modernization of the domestic fleet with the acquisition of the Shorts SD360 "Sunriser" in May 1987, the Fokker 50 in August 1988 and the Boeing 737-300 jet in August 1989.

In 1988, as the Manila domestic passenger terminal outgrew its capacity and ramp aircraft parking space became more scarce, PAL leased the hangar of the Philippine Aerospace Development Corp. and converted it into the PAL Domestic Terminal 2. The terminal, which opened in October 1988, served exclusively passengers of the airline's widebody Airbus A300 services. These were the flights bound for Cebu and Davao (General Santos and Puerto Princesa were added later on). At the same time, PAL also expanded and improved the Manila domestic terminal. The opening of the new facility cleared out the old terminal and provided greater convenience to passengers.

1990s PAL was privatized again in January 1992, when the government sold a 67% share of PAL to a holding company called PR Holdings. However, a conflict as to who would lead PAL led to a compromise in 1993, when former Education Secretary Carlos G. Dominguez was elected PAL president by the airline's board of directors. The BAC 1-11s were retired in May 1992, following completion of the deliveries of B737s, and the Shorts SD360s in September. In November 1993, PAL acquired its first Boeing 747. The new aircraft arrived at Subic Bay International Airport and was carrying then-President Fidel V. Ramos, who was headed home from the United States after an official visit. The 200-short ton aircraft, the world's largest and most popular long-range aircraft continues to be the mainstay of PAL's Trans-Pacific services and its flagship aircraft. A new service between Manila and Osaka, launched in 1994, brought to 34 the number of points in PAL's international route network.

In 1995, The PAL Domestic Terminal 2 was given a new look. A number of facilities were added or improved, including a renovated Mabuhay Lounge, an exclusive check-in counter for Mabuhay Class passengers, an Express Counter, refreshment bar, a medical clinic, an expansive waiting lounge and two baggage carousels in the arrival section. The PAL facilities at the Manila domestic terminal and the NAIA were also renovated. The total cost for the domestic terminal (1 and 2) renovations reached PHP33.15 million while the NAIA enhancements totaled PHP125 million.

In January 1995, Lucio C. Tan, the majority shareholder of PR Holdings, became the new chairman and CEO of the airline. The delivery of the carrier's fourth B747-400 in April 1996 signaled the start of an ambitious US$4 billion modernization and re-fleeting program that aimed to make PAL one of Asia's best airlines within three years. The centerpiece of the program was the acquisition of 36-state-of-the-art aircraft from manufacturers Airbus Industries and Boeing Co. from 1996 to 1999. The re-fleeting sought to give PAL the distinction of having the youngest fleet in Asia and allow the expansion of its domestic and international route network. The 36-Aircraft Orders of PAL Re-fleeting Program of 1996 comprised of eight (8) Boeing 747-400, four (4) Airbus 340-300, eight (8) Airbus 330-300 and twelve (12) Airbus 320-200.

In 1997, PAL was relaunched as "Asia's sunniest" airline to cap its new marketing and advertising thrust. The modernization reached its peak in the year 1997 with the introduction of the three new Airbus aircraft - the A340 series 300, and series 200, A330-300 and A320-200, the first in the world to operate the full range of new-generation Airbus aircraft. PAL acquires 18 Airbus jets in major refleeting move, PhilippineAirlines.com. Accessed January 2007. These new aircraft will be used for the all-jet operation of the international, regional and domestic routes service. Aside from the acquisition of new aircraft, the airline also started a route to the Newark Liberty Airport in New Jersey via Vancouver, BC, among others. But, this made the airline financially disabled, as it acquired too many types and number of aircraft and matched them to unprofitable routes. The refleeting program was about halfway through when the full impact of the East Asian financial crisis struck the airline industry early in 1998. By 31 March, the end of the fiscal year, PAL had reported its largest annual loss of PHP8.08 billion.

The airline's financial difficulties were compounded by a series of labor disputes that began when the pilots' union staged a three-week strike in June 1998. This was followed by a strike by the ground personnel union on 22 July. This ended four days later with the signing of a deal between the union and management. But PAL's financial troubles continued to take their toll and on June 19 1998, the company filed for receivership with the Securities and Exchange Commission, which then appointed a committee to oversee the rehabilitation of the flag carrier. Services to Europe, under the helm of General Manager Heinz van Opstal, were dismissed and many European offices were soon forced to close down. The airline downsized its operations as the Asian financial crisis dragged the region's once-vibrant economies into recession in 1998. The fleet was reduced from 53 to 22 aircraft, many domestic and international routes were discontinued, and the work force was reduced. Another dispute between the airline’s owners and the employee’s union shut the airline’s operations on September 23 1998 Philippine Airlines collapses. Cathay Pacific temporarily took over the operations of both domestic and international routes left by PAL Cathay Pacific to Run Philippine Airlines. Cathay Pacific also showed interest in acquiring 40 percent stake of PAL during this period but no agreement was reached Cathay Pacific Close To Philippine Air Deal. After an agreement, reported to be facilitated by then-President Joseph Estrada, PAL flew once again on October 7 1998 with services to 15 domestic points out of Manila. On October 29, the flag carrier resumed international services with a flight to Los Angeles and San Francisco with other international services being restored three weeks later. Asian services resumed on November 11 with flights to Tokyo and Hong Kong. PAL gradually expanded its network over the next two months, restoring services to Taipei, Singapore, Fukuoka, Fukuoka, Osaka (via Cebu), Dhahran, Riyadh and Seoul. With the aviation industry still in the doldrums, PAL continued to search for a strategic partner but in the end, it submitted a "stand alone" rehabilitation plan to the SEC on December 7, 1998. The plan provides a sound basis for the airline to undertake a recovery on its own while keeping the door open to the entry of a strategic partner in the future. PAL presented the new proposed rehabilitation plan to its major creditors during a two-week marathon meeting that started on February 15 in Washington D.C. and ended on March 1 in Hong Kong.

In 1999, PAL submitted its amended rehabilitation plan to the Securities and Exchange Commission that comprised a revised business plan and a revised financial restructuring plan. The plan also required the infusion of US$200 million in new equity, with 40% to 60% coming from financial investors and translating to no less than 90% ownership of PAL.

In the same year, With the unprecedented boom in air travel, the NAIA and the two domestic terminals soon became inadequate to serve the millions of travelers using them. Even the constant improvements to these facilities were not enough. This impelled the government to build the Centennial Terminal 2 of the NAIA at the site of the old MIA. On August 9, 1999, PAL became the first airline to use the PHP5.3 billion terminal by moving selected domestic flights there. Full domestic operations began on August 10, while international services followed soon after, thus consolidating PAL's flight operations in one terminal for the first time.

2000s In 2000, PAL finally returned to profitability, making some PHP44.2 million in its first year of rehabilitation, breaking some six years of heavy losses. On September 1, 2000, PAL formally handed over its ownership of its maintenance and engineering division to German-led joint venture Lufthansa Technik Philippines (LTP), the world's largest provider of aircraft maintenance services in accordance with the provisions of its rehabilitation plan, which mandates the disposal of the airline's non-core assets. In August of the same year, PAL opened an e-mail booking facility. In 2001, PAL continued to gain a net profit of PHP419 million in its second year of rehabilitation. In this year alone, PAL restored services to Sydney, Busan, Taipei , Jakarta, Vancouver, Ho Chi Minh City, and Bangkok, while launching new services to Shanghai and Melbourne. A year later, PAL restored services to Tagbilaran City and Guam.

PAL's Mabuhay Miles frequent flyer program was launched in 2002, combining PAL's former frequent flyer programs, PALSmiles, Mabuhay Club, and the Flying Sportsman (now SportsPlus) all into one. The PAL RHUSH (Rapid Handling of Urgent Shipments) Cargo service was also re-launched during the same year. An online arrival and departure facility and a new booking system were launched in 2003. In December, PAL also acquired a fifth Boeing 747-400.

in Cagayan de Oro City, Misamis Oriental In 2004, PAL launched services to Las Vegas, Nevada to mark its 63rd year of service. PAL also returned to Laoag and started services to Macau on an agreement with Air Macau. The airline also saw a return to Europe with the return of the airline to Paris and Amsterdam PAL gains Europe access with KLM code-share deal on agreements with Air France and KLM Royal Dutch Airlines. The service to Paris, however, was inevitably cut, due to the merger between Air France and KLM. PAL also continued an overhaul of its fleet with the arrival of two new Airbus A320s and continued modernizing its ticketing systems with the launch of electronic ticketing. For the first time in history, the airline flew President-elect Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo and Vice-President-elect Noli de Castro to their inauguration in Cebu City.

Future Fleet In May 2006, Philippine Airlines announced its medium-term fleet plan, covering fiscal years 2006 to 2011. The plan aims to increase and/or replace the current fleet with new additional aircraft for a complete fleet of 43 wide and narrow bodied aircraft at the culmination of the re-fleeting and expansion program. A major overhaul of the narrow-bodied fleet includes the phase out all remaining Boeing 737 aircraft by October 2007, maintaining instead a fleet of 20 brand-new Airbus A320-family aircraft from 2008 onwards. The wide-bodied fleet plan also looks to increase the current medium-haul fleet of eight Airbus A330 with two additional mid-range aircraft between 2007 and 2009, and the long-haul fleet of five Boeing 747 and four Airbus A340 with six additional long-range aircraft between 2007 and 2011.

On December 6, 2006, PAL signed an agreement with Boeing for two 777-300ER airplanes, with a purchase agreement for two more aircraft. A separate agreement to lease two Boeing 777-300ERs from General Electric Capital Aviation Services (GECAS) was signed as well. Deliveries will start in 2009. In May 2007, the airline exercised the rights for the two extra 777 Aircraft for delivery in 2011.

On July 2, 2007, PAL purchased 2 of the 3 Bombardier De Havilland Canada Dash 8 Q300s ordered by its subsidiary Air Philippines for delivery on November the same year. This move was caused by competition among Philippine carriers to service flights to the tropical island of Boracay.

With PAL’s exit from the rehabilitation and receivership, and the successful route-proving landing of the Airbus A380 MSN009 test aircraft at Manila's Ninoy Aquino International Airport and Clark's Diosdado Macapagal International Airport last 11 and 12 October 2007 respectively, PAL is strongly believed to purchase its own share of A380s in the future, only after the delivery of its six Boeing 777-300ERs and remaining Airbus A320 orders. However, this is yet to be confirmed.

Philippine Airlines has also shown interest in acquiring future generation aircraft such as the Airbus A350, Boeing 747-8 and the Boeing 787.

Fleet Maintenance The entire Philippine Airlines fleet of Airbus and Boeing jets are maintained by Lufthansa Technik Philippines or LTP. LTP is a joint venture of Hanburg-based Lufthansa Technik AG and Macro Asia Corporation of PAL majority-owner Lucio Tan and using the Balagbag hangar formerly owned and operated by PAL. The Lufthansa Technik Group is the global leader in aircraft maintenance, repair, overhaul with 30 subsidiaries worldwide. Macro Asia Corporation is one of the Philippines' leading providers of aviation support services and catering for foreign airlines.

Brand Livery and Logo in the 1950s. A simplified design was used in the 1960s.The Philippine Airlines logo is inspired by the colors and design of the flag of the Philippines and consists of a blue and a red triangle, with an eight-rayed, orange-yellow sun imposed on the blue triangle, which was added in 1986, when the airline adopted its current corporate identity.

The name "Philippines" marks the forward portion of the classic eurowhite fuselage, while the vertical stabilizer is painted with the logo and the Philippine flag is visible near the rear of the aircraft. The airline originally intended to put only "Philippines" instead of Philippine Airlines because of its status as the country's flag carrier, but this has confused many people. PAL aircraft used for presidential-chartered flights for international head-of-state meetings have been also mistaken as the Philippine "Air transports of heads of state and government," due to the sole use of the word "Philippines." These flights are designated as PR 001.

History 1940s-1950s

Philippine Airlines was founded on February 26, 1941, making it Asia's oldest carrier still operating under its current name. The airline was started by a group of businessmen led by Andres Soriano, hailed as one of the Philippines' leading industrialists at the time, who served as the General Manager, and former Senator Ramon Fernandez as Chairman and President. Government investment in September of the same year paved the way for its nationalization.

The airline’s first flight took place on March 15, 1941 with a single Beech Model 18 NPC-54 aircraft, which started its daily services between Manila (from Nielson Field) and Baguio City. Milestones in the History of PAL, PhilippineAirlines.com. Accessed September 2007. On July 22, the airline acquired the franchise of the Philippine Aerial Taxi Company. PAL services were interrupted during World War II, which lasted in the Philippines from 1942 to 1945. Upon the outbreak of the Pacific war on December 8 1941, the two Model 18s and their pilots were pressed into military service. They were used to evacuate American fighter pilots to Australia until one was shot down over Mindanao and the other was destroyed on the ground in an air raid on Surabaya, Indonesia.

On February 14 1946, PAL resumed operations after a five-year hiatus with services to 15 domestic points with five Douglas DC-3s and a payroll of 108 names. Philippine Airlines returned to its original home, the Nielsen Airport in Makati. The airport, heavily damaged during the war, was refurbished and modernized by PAL at a hefty cost of over PHP1 million. Nielsen soon became the premier airport in the country and was designated by the Philippine government as the official port of entry for all international flights. It had two runways of 7,000 feet (2,133 meters) and 4,000 feet (1,219 meters) length. The airport's first passenger terminal was a temporary one built around huts and later upgraded to a concrete structure. Nielsen Airport was operated by Manila International Air Terminal, Inc., a wholly owned PAL subsidiary.

On July 31 of the same year, PAL the first Asian airline to cross the Pacific Ocean, when a chartered Douglas DC-4 ferried 40 American servicemen to Oakland, California from Makati City with stops in Guam, Wake Island, Johnston Atoll and Honolulu. A regular service between Manila and San Francisco was started in December the same year. It was during this time that the airline was designated as the country’s flag carrier.Philippine Airlines Info Kit 1982, Philippine Airlines. 1982.

A year later saw PAL head to Europe with the acquisition of more Douglas DC-4's. By 1948 PAL had absorbed the only other scheduled airlines, Far Eastern Air Transport and Commercial Air lines.Flight International 12-18 April 2005 Following the government's decision to make Nichols Field in Pasay City, the site of a former U.S. Air Force base, the new Manila International Airport (MIA), PAL was required to move its base of operations and passenger terminal there from Nielsen Airport. The transfer was accomplished over a five-month period from January 31 to June 28, 1948. PAL invested an additional PHP600,000 in ground installations and improvements to Nichols Field. The airport's international runway and associated taxiway were built in 1953.

In 1951, PAL leased a DC-3 named Kinsei to Japan Airlines, which led to the founding of the country's own national airline. In 1954, the Philippine government suspended all long-haul international flights, only to resume five years later, when the government decided that it was a matter of national policy. In three years, PAL started services to Hong Kong, Bangkok, and Taipei using Convair 340s that would later be replaced by the Vickers Viscount, which bought the airline into the turboprop age.

1960s-1980s In the 1960s, PAL entered the jet age, initially with a lone Boeing 707, that was later replaced with Douglas DC-8 aircraft leased from KLM. The aircraft were used for long-haul international flights to Europe and the United States. The DC-3 remained the mainstay of the domestic services as it expanded to a total of 72 points as airports were improved or opened, but most of the airline's rural air service was later stopped in May 1964. In May 1966, PAL started its first domestic turbojet services to the Cebu City, Bacolod City, and Davao City using the BAC1-11. PAL was privatized in May 1966, when the Philippine government relinquished its share of PAL after Benigno Toda, Jr., the PAL board chairman from 1962, acquired a majority stake in the airline.

When President Ferdinand Marcos declared Martial Law, he implemented a one-airline policy. PAL was the lone surviving airline, absorbing Air Manila and Filipinas Orient Airways. On March 10, 1973 PAL was designated as the national flag carrier again. PAL continued expansion with the arrival of its first Douglas DC-10 in July 1974. Three years later, the Philippine government re-nationalized PAL, with the Government Service Insurance System holding a majority of PAL shares. In 1979, the Boeing 727 trijet, the Boeing 747, and the Airbus A300, dubbed the "Love Bus", joined the PAL fleet.

Between the years 1979-1981, as part of a comprehensive modernization program, PAL built a series of mammoth aviation-related facilities around the periphery of the MIA. These included:









On April 2 1982, a PAL Boeing 747 arriving from San Francisco via Honolulu became the first aircraft to dock at the new Ninoy Aquino International Airport#Terminal 1 in Parañaque. The new PHP800 million terminal, located some two kilometers from the old terminal, had 17 air-bridges and a capacity of 4.3 million passengers annually. PAL's facilities at the new MIA covered more than 1 million square feet and catered not only to the national flag carrier but also to many foreign airlines calling at Manila. PAL would later strengthen its cargo-handling capability by building a dedicated cargo terminal building adjacent to the MIA passenger terminal and installing cargo-refrigeration equipment in 1983. The new facilities, which catered mainly to international cargo services, enabled PAL to become a fully equipped cargo handler.

Following the "EDSA Revolution" in February 1986, Dante G. Santos became PAL president. He launched a massive modernization of the domestic fleet with the acquisition of the Shorts SD360 "Sunriser" in May 1987, the Fokker 50 in August 1988 and the Boeing 737-300 jet in August 1989.

In 1988, as the Manila domestic passenger terminal outgrew its capacity and ramp aircraft parking space became more scarce, PAL leased the hangar of the Philippine Aerospace Development Corp. and converted it into the PAL Domestic Terminal 2. The terminal, which opened in October 1988, served exclusively passengers of the airline's widebody Airbus A300 services. These were the flights bound for Cebu and Davao (General Santos and Puerto Princesa were added later on). At the same time, PAL also expanded and improved the Manila domestic terminal. The opening of the new facility cleared out the old terminal and provided greater convenience to passengers.

1990s PAL was privatized again in January 1992, when the government sold a 67% share of PAL to a holding company called PR Holdings. However, a conflict as to who would lead PAL led to a compromise in 1993, when former Education Secretary Carlos G. Dominguez was elected PAL president by the airline's board of directors. The BAC 1-11s were retired in May 1992, following completion of the deliveries of B737s, and the Shorts SD360s in September. In November 1993, PAL acquired its first Boeing 747. The new aircraft arrived at Subic Bay International Airport and was carrying then-President Fidel V. Ramos, who was headed home from the United States after an official visit. The 200-short ton aircraft, the world's largest and most popular long-range aircraft continues to be the mainstay of PAL's Trans-Pacific services and its flagship aircraft. A new service between Manila and Osaka, launched in 1994, brought to 34 the number of points in PAL's international route network.

In 1995, The PAL Domestic Terminal 2 was given a new look. A number of facilities were added or improved, including a renovated Mabuhay Lounge, an exclusive check-in counter for Mabuhay Class passengers, an Express Counter, refreshment bar, a medical clinic, an expansive waiting lounge and two baggage carousels in the arrival section. The PAL facilities at the Manila domestic terminal and the NAIA were also renovated. The total cost for the domestic terminal (1 and 2) renovations reached PHP33.15 million while the NAIA enhancements totaled PHP125 million.

In January 1995, Lucio C. Tan, the majority shareholder of PR Holdings, became the new chairman and CEO of the airline. The delivery of the carrier's fourth B747-400 in April 1996 signaled the start of an ambitious US$4 billion modernization and re-fleeting program that aimed to make PAL one of Asia's best airlines within three years. The centerpiece of the program was the acquisition of 36-state-of-the-art aircraft from manufacturers Airbus Industries and Boeing Co. from 1996 to 1999. The re-fleeting sought to give PAL the distinction of having the youngest fleet in Asia and allow the expansion of its domestic and international route network. The 36-Aircraft Orders of PAL Re-fleeting Program of 1996 comprised of eight (8) Boeing 747-400, four (4) Airbus 340-300, eight (8) Airbus 330-300 and twelve (12) Airbus 320-200.

In 1997, PAL was relaunched as "Asia's sunniest" airline to cap its new marketing and advertising thrust. The modernization reached its peak in the year 1997 with the introduction of the three new Airbus aircraft - the A340 series 300, and series 200, A330-300 and A320-200, the first in the world to operate the full range of new-generation Airbus aircraft. PAL acquires 18 Airbus jets in major refleeting move, PhilippineAirlines.com. Accessed January 2007. These new aircraft will be used for the all-jet operation of the international, regional and domestic routes service. Aside from the acquisition of new aircraft, the airline also started a route to the Newark Liberty Airport in New Jersey via Vancouver, BC, among others. But, this made the airline financially disabled, as it acquired too many types and number of aircraft and matched them to unprofitable routes. The refleeting program was about halfway through when the full impact of the East Asian financial crisis struck the airline industry early in 1998. By 31 March, the end of the fiscal year, PAL had reported its largest annual loss of PHP8.08 billion.

The airline's financial difficulties were compounded by a series of labor disputes that began when the pilots' union staged a three-week strike in June 1998. This was followed by a strike by the ground personnel union on 22 July. This ended four days later with the signing of a deal between the union and management. But PAL's financial troubles continued to take their toll and on June 19 1998, the company filed for receivership with the Securities and Exchange Commission, which then appointed a committee to oversee the rehabilitation of the flag carrier. Services to Europe, under the helm of General Manager Heinz van Opstal, were dismissed and many European offices were soon forced to close down. The airline downsized its operations as the Asian financial crisis dragged the region's once-vibrant economies into recession in 1998. The fleet was reduced from 53 to 22 aircraft, many domestic and international routes were discontinued, and the work force was reduced. Another dispute between the airline’s owners and the employee’s union shut the airline’s operations on September 23 1998 Philippine Airlines collapses. Cathay Pacific temporarily took over the operations of both domestic and international routes left by PAL Cathay Pacific to Run Philippine Airlines. Cathay Pacific also showed interest in acquiring 40 percent stake of PAL during this period but no agreement was reached Cathay Pacific Close To Philippine Air Deal. After an agreement, reported to be facilitated by then-President Joseph Estrada, PAL flew once again on October 7 1998 with services to 15 domestic points out of Manila. On October 29, the flag carrier resumed international services with a flight to Los Angeles and San Francisco with other international services being restored three weeks later. Asian services resumed on November 11 with flights to Tokyo and Hong Kong. PAL gradually expanded its network over the next two months, restoring services to Taipei, Singapore, Fukuoka, Fukuoka, Osaka (via Cebu), Dhahran, Riyadh and Seoul. With the aviation industry still in the doldrums, PAL continued to search for a strategic partner but in the end, it submitted a "stand alone" rehabilitation plan to the SEC on December 7, 1998. The plan provides a sound basis for the airline to undertake a recovery on its own while keeping the door open to the entry of a strategic partner in the future. PAL presented the new proposed rehabilitation plan to its major creditors during a two-week marathon meeting that started on February 15 in Washington D.C. and ended on March 1 in Hong Kong.

In 1999, PAL submitted its amended rehabilitation plan to the Securities and Exchange Commission that comprised a revised business plan and a revised financial restructuring plan. The plan also required the infusion of US$200 million in new equity, with 40% to 60% coming from financial investors and translating to no less than 90% ownership of PAL.

In the same year, With the unprecedented boom in air travel, the NAIA and the two domestic terminals soon became inadequate to serve the millions of travelers using them. Even the constant improvements to these facilities were not enough. This impelled the government to build the Centennial Terminal 2 of the NAIA at the site of the old MIA. On August 9, 1999, PAL became the first airline to use the PHP5.3 billion terminal by moving selected domestic flights there. Full domestic operations began on August 10, while international services followed soon after, thus consolidating PAL's flight operations in one terminal for the first time.

2000s In 2000, PAL finally returned to profitability, making some PHP44.2 million in its first year of rehabilitation, breaking some six years of heavy losses. On September 1, 2000, PAL formally handed over its ownership of its maintenance and engineering division to German-led joint venture Lufthansa Technik Philippines (LTP), the world's largest provider of aircraft maintenance services in accordance with the provisions of its rehabilitation plan, which mandates the disposal of the airline's non-core assets. In August of the same year, PAL opened an e-mail booking facility. In 2001, PAL continued to gain a net profit of PHP419 million in its second year of rehabilitation. In this year alone, PAL restored services to Sydney, Busan, Taipei , Jakarta, Vancouver, Ho Chi Minh City, and Bangkok, while launching new services to Shanghai and Melbourne. A year later, PAL restored services to Tagbilaran City and Guam.

PAL's Mabuhay Miles frequent flyer program was launched in 2002, combining PAL's former frequent flyer programs, PALSmiles, Mabuhay Club, and the Flying Sportsman (now SportsPlus) all into one. The PAL RHUSH (Rapid Handling of Urgent Shipments) Cargo service was also re-launched during the same year. An online arrival and departure facility and a new booking system were launched in 2003. In December, PAL also acquired a fifth Boeing 747-400.

in Cagayan de Oro City, Misamis Oriental In 2004, PAL launched services to Las Vegas, Nevada to mark its 63rd year of service. PAL also returned to Laoag and started services to Macau on an agreement with Air Macau. The airline also saw a return to Europe with the return of the airline to Paris and Amsterdam PAL gains Europe access with KLM code-share deal on agreements with Air France and KLM Royal Dutch Airlines.

Destinations Internationally, Philippine Airlines mainly flies within the Asia-Pacific region with destinations in the United States and Canada often heavily marketed. PAL flies daily to over 24 international destinations including Manila.PAL also has an extensive domestic network offering multiple flights a day between Manila and selected Philippine cities.

Historically, PAL used to fly to destinations such as New York, Europe and the Middle East, however due to financial difficulties and high fuel prices, PAL was forced to relinquish services to these areas (although PAL maintains some code-share agreements with carriers to continue services to these places). After rehabilitation, PAL flew to Riyadh, Saudi Arabia but had to suspend flights to the city due to an oversupply of seats, intense competition by Arab carriers and high fuel prices.

Future Fleet In May 2006, Philippine Airlines announced its medium-term fleet plan, covering fiscal years 2006 to 2011. The plan aims to increase and/or replace the current fleet with new additional aircraft for a complete fleet of 43 wide and narrow bodied aircraft at the culmination of the re-fleeting and expansion program. A major overhaul of the narrow-bodied fleet includes the phase out all remaining Boeing 737 aircraft by October 2007, maintaining instead a fleet of 20 brand-new Airbus A320-family aircraft from 2008 onwards. The wide-bodied fleet plan also looks to increase the current medium-haul fleet of eight Airbus A330 with two additional mid-range aircraft between 2007 and 2009, and the long-haul fleet of five Boeing 747 and four Airbus A340 with six additional long-range aircraft between 2007 and 2011.

On December 6, 2006, PAL signed an agreement with Boeing for two 777-300ER airplanes, with a purchase agreement for two more aircraft. A separate agreement to lease two Boeing 777-300ERs from General Electric Capital Aviation Services (GECAS) was signed as well. Deliveries will start in 2009. In May 2007, the airline exercised the rights for the two extra 777 Aircraft for delivery in 2011.

On July 2, 2007, PAL purchased 2 of the 3 Bombardier De Havilland Canada Dash 8 Q300s ordered by its subsidiary Air Philippines for delivery on November the same year. This move was caused by competition among Philippine carriers to service flights to the tropical island of Boracay.

With PAL’s exit from the rehabilitation and receivership, and the successful route-proving landing of the Airbus A380 MSN009 test aircraft at Manila's Ninoy Aquino International Airport and Clark's Diosdado Macapagal International Airport last 11 and 12 October 2007 respectively, PAL is strongly believed to purchase its own share of A380s in the future, only after the delivery of its six Boeing 777-300ERs and remaining Airbus A320 orders. However, this is yet to be confirmed.

Philippine Airlines has also shown interest in acquiring future generation aircraft such as the Airbus A350, Boeing 747-8 and the Boeing 787.

Brand Livery and Logo in the 1950s. A simplified design was used in the 1960s.The Philippine Airlines logo is inspired by the colors and design of the flag of the Philippines and consists of a blue and a red triangle, with an eight-rayed, orange-yellow sun imposed on the blue triangle, which was added in 1986, when the airline adopted its current corporate identity.

The name "Philippines" marks the forward portion of the classic eurowhite fuselage, while the vertical stabilizer is painted with the logo and the Philippine flag is visible near the rear of the aircraft. The airline originally intended to put only "Philippines" instead of Philippine Airlines because of its status as the country's flag carrier, but this has confused many people. PAL aircraft used for presidential-chartered flights for international head-of-state meetings have been also mistaken as the Philippine "Air transports of heads of state and government," due to the sole use of the word "Philippines." These flights are designated as PR 001.
