This month alone, CEB is receiving several new international flights (PAL's CEB-LAX, EK's DXB-CEB-CRK-DXB, and XMN direct to name a few) whilst T2 is still under construction. <br /><br />VisMin guests would like to avoid MNL as much as possible, and with world-class T2 coming soon, it's only but logical.<br /><br />I can honestly see PAL fly SFO and an Aussie destination via CEB in the near future within 2016-2020.

If loads improve, I see the A350 flying MNL-YYZ as well. Still crossing fingers for PAL to expand CEB to include CEB-SFO as well, by then, they would need more than six A350s if they also intend to use the A350 to the EU (CDG, FCO and LHR) as well. I really think six A350s are not enough, I wonder how many options PAL signed for. Look at the 77W, they ended up ordering two more, set to arrive later this year.

By the time, they go into service. Few of PAL's B77Ws will be aging. Besides, PAL loves the Boeing 777-300ER. I don't see them replacing it anytime soon :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3616539414852509228.post-30479182789343783632015-12-08T12:17:38.174+08:002015-12-08T12:17:38.174+08:00I hope pal will upgrade its cebu hub and open more...I hope pal will upgrade its cebu hub and open more international routes since manila airport is too congested and risky.cebu is more viable because it has more connection compare to clark.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3616539414852509228.post-1943093166853896652015-12-08T08:49:46.122+08:002015-12-08T08:49:46.122+08:00This is great news!

Also, I really hope they can make the European destination work via Dubai, although, I would prefer a direct flight, I sure hope it will be a logical business decision for PAL (in short, profitable!). <br /><br />Good luck!

Probably the reason behind PAL choose A350 is the commonality of the functions and operations between A330/A340 and XWB. Though, B787 and A350 are both efficient aircraft, pilots play a big role in choosing an aircraft. Why hire new pilots and send them for trainings if you have a competent pilots that only needs a week to be certified to fly A330. Moreover, A330 pilots can switch with A350 pilots too.<br />Therefore, PAL just made a descent decision with their planes. I wonder how many and which country it will serve?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3616539414852509228.post-13584971941925623032015-12-04T20:45:34.603+08:002015-12-04T20:45:34.603+08:00Why won't Philippine Airlines selected both Ai...Why won't Philippine Airlines selected both Airbus A350 and Boeing 787?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3616539414852509228.post-9348570047541349302015-12-04T13:47:54.735+08:002015-12-04T13:47:54.735+08:00Thanks!Thanks!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3616539414852509228.post-7147821485495538302015-12-04T13:08:29.095+08:002015-12-04T13:08:29.095+08:00Nope.
