Philippine Airlines said it will join oneworld as the alliance’s 16th member airline after signing a memorandum of understanding at the IATA 82nd Annual General Meeting in Rio de Janeiro. The announcement was made on June 6, 2026, and marks the carrier’s planned entry into the global alliance.
According to oneworld, PAL’s membership will expand the network with new destinations including Caticlan, Puerto Princesa and Tawi-Tawi Island. The alliance said the Philippine flag carrier’s addition will broaden its reach in the Philippines and across its international network.
Philippine Airlines is the national flag carrier of the Philippines. The carrier’s move follows the formal announcement and is described by oneworld as part of its ongoing membership expansion.
