Philippine Airlines and the National Academy of Aviation of the Philippines have completed the final inspection of four donated DHC-8-Q400s for training use. The aircraft, RP-C3030, RP-C3032, RP-C3033 and RP-C3036, are no longer airworthy and will be turned into training laboratories for future maintenance and flight students.
The handover extends PAL’s earlier pledge to donate five Q400s, but the latest update names only four airframes. That leaves one aircraft unaccounted for in the public record and points to further transfer work before the fleet is fully repurposed.
