Philippine Airlines takes delivery of third Airbus A350-1000

Philippine Airlines has taken delivery of its third Airbus A350-1000, RP-C3512, in Manila after ferrying the aircraft from Airbus’ Toulouse delivery centre on 29 July 2026. The arrival extends PAL’s widebody refresh and keeps it the only Southeast Asian operator of the A350-1000. The jet is the third of nine ordered in 2023 and is slated for Manila-San Francisco service, with initial operations set at three frequencies a week before a planned move to daily flying in September.
