Philippine Airlines (PAL) has added five Airbus A320 aircraft to support its domestic route network, the airline announced on April 22, 2026. Configured to carry up to 180 passengers, the aircraft are expected to increase flight frequency and improve connections between major hubs and regional destinations.
Fleet Expansion Details
The additions bring PAL's total fleet to 80 aircraft, including 16 A320s deployed on domestic routes. PAL Express President Rabbi Vincent Ang said the move forms part of the airline's broader fleet program, which includes upgrades to long-haul aircraft and plans to acquire A321neo jets.
Fare Promotion and International Expansion
PAL is also introducing a limited Monday-based fare promotion in partnership with Mastercard. The offer provides a 10% discount on round-trip base fares for bookings made on select dates in April and May 2026, with travel beginning June 1. The promo applies to both domestic and international routes.
Separately, the airline is expanding its international network with access to Toronto via Manila starting May 24, 2026, using the Airbus A350-1000. This new route is expected to cater to growing demand for travel between the Philippines and Canada.
