Flag carrier Philippine Airlines (PAL) took delivery of its third Airbus A350-1000 on Wednesday, according to a report from Philstar Biz. The new widebody jet is the latest of nine A350-1000s PAL has on order.

The aircraft will be deployed on long-haul routes to North America, including flights to Canada and the United States. PAL has been steadily expanding its trans-Pacific network, and the addition of the A350-1000 supports increased capacity and range on these key routes.

PAL’s A350-1000s are configured with premium cabins and are part of the airline's broader fleet modernization program. The remaining six aircraft on order are expected to be delivered over the next two years, further strengthening PAL’s competitive position in the North American market.
