Philippine Airlines (PAL) has extended its long-term partnership with Airbus by signing a new agreement for Flight Hour Services (FHS) covering its A350, A330 Family and A320 Family fleets, further strengthening the airline’s fleet maintenance and operational support.
The extended contract covers nine A350-1000, 11 A330 Family and 43 A320 Family, and includes comprehensive component support through standard exchange, component repairs, component reliability and engineering services, as well as the provision of on-site stock at PAL’s main base in Manila, Philippines. The agreement is designed to enhance fleet availability, operational reliability and cost predictability.
Airbus FHS and Philippine Airlines have been working together since 2018, when an initial FHS contract was signed to support the airline’s A350-900 fleet. The partnership was expanded in 2022 to include PAL’s A320 and A330 fleets, reflecting the airline’s continued confidence in Airbus’ integrated, multi-fleet maintenance solutions.
“We thank Philippine Airlines for extending its Flight Hour Services agreements across its entire Airbus fleet to cover the A350, A330 Family and A320 Family. This demonstrates the strength of our long-standing partnership and our shared commitment to operational excellence,” said Anand Stanley, President Airbus Asia-Pacific. “By delivering comprehensive component support and on-site services in Manila, we are helping PAL optimise fleet performance while benefiting from predictable, long-term maintenance costs.”
