Philippine Airlines to use first A350-900 on JFK route

Philippine Airlines has taken delivery of the first of its Airbus A350-900 orders, and will use the aircraft to debut nonstop flights to New York. The first A350 arrived in Manila July 15. The aircraft is subject to a sale-and-leaseback agreement with SMBC Aviation Capital. PAL is scheduled to receive four A350s this year, out of its total firm orders for six. PAL intends to operate the A350s primarily on routes to Europe and North America. The non-stop route between Manila and New York Kennedy International Airport is scheduled to begin Oct. 29, and will be 5X-weekly. <br/>
