Philippine Airlines, commonly abbreviated as PAL, is the flag carrier of the Philippines.Founded in 1941, Philippine Airlines is the first and oldest commercial airline in Asia operating under its original name. It began operations on March 15, 1941, with a single Beech Model 18 aircraft.PAL is headquartered at the PNB Financial Center in Pasay City.

As of my last update in September 2021, Philippine Airlines operates a mix of Airbus and Boeing aircraft. This includes models like the Airbus A320, A321, A330, A350, and the Boeing 777, among others.Philippine Airlines serves numerous domestic destinations within the Philippines and international destinations in Asia, Oceania, North America, and Europe.

Over the years, PAL has received several awards acknowledging its level of service, safety, and operational excellence.Depending on the aircraft and route, PAL offers various cabin classes such as Economy, Premium Economy, and Business Class.

Like many airlines, PAL has faced various challenges over the decades, including competition from other carriers, economic downturns, and global events that have impacted the aviation industry.PAL has taken steps to modernize its fleet, which, in addition to offering operational advantages, also helps in reducing its carbon footprint.
