Using those Boeing 777 planes, Philippine Airlines would save $160 million dollars. $100 million (A year) for the fuel and $60 million dollars for the maintenance. Boeing 777-300ER planes would replace the Boeing 747-400 operation to Los Angeles and San Francisco. Philippine Airlines will retire their Boeing 747s soon.
Boeing 777-300ER planes will serve the United States, letting the Airbus A340-300 (leased) to operate Manila to London flights. The airline said its Vancouver and Toronto flights will be utilized by their brand new Airbus A330-343X, the airline previously used Boeing 777-300ER on these routes.
To support PAL's expansion, Philippine Airlines still has 7 A330-300 on order. Later this year, Philippine Airlines said it would cancel 5 A330-300 deliveries, But, Philippine Airlines would order more A321-200 planes.
Philippine Airlines will increase frequency to some US flights. They would increase Los Angeles flights to 14x weekly, Honolulu to 7x weekly, and Guam to 14x weekly.
Not a good idea to deploy old A340 in London /Manila route. To be.competetive with other airline company a good service will be provided or else PAL dont get passenger even Filipinos. 777 is the right plane.for.this route not only its new , clean, butvit has a personnal tv screens even in economy class. Hope to consider this.aspect. Its a very long flight and.without this facilities its gonna be boring for the passengers.
