PAL intensifies efforts to achieve 5-star airline status in 2020
PAL, in a bid to become a 5-star airline by 2020, is planning to re-configure 8 of its Airbus 330s for US$10m per plane, buy more fleets, exercise its fifth freedom rights further, launch new service routes, and start other service innovations. For this year, the company is also targeting to book 14m passengers, compared to 12m recorded last year. PAL president and CE Jaime Bautista said: “Our goal is to make PAL the airline of choice in all the markets we serve, one that exceeds passenger expectation.” PAL now is rated with 3 stars by Skytrax. As part of its route expansion in Europe, the carrier is assessing 4 new destinations. “We are studying Paris, Amsterdam, Hamburg and Rome. When the new, long-range A350-900s arrive, we will be capable to mount more non-stop flights to Europe,” Bautista said. <br/>
