Philippine Airlines’ next-generation widebody acquisition is crystallizing into a split order for 24 aircraft: 15 Boeing 787-10s and nine Airbus A350-1000s. Industry sources say the package marks PAL’s first Boeing purchase in nearly 20 years, with disclosure expected at the Farnborough Airshow.

Briefing

What Hype is tracking

  • PAL’s mix—15 787-10s vs nine A350-1000s—will set the carrier’s long-haul capacity and fleet economics for the next wave of growth as it replaces aging widebodies (context: Philippine Airlines weighs up to 20 widebody jets to replace aging A330s and 777s).
  • The order is a near-term signal of how Boeing and Airbus are trading share in Southeast Asia’s widebody market, particularly given PAL’s reported return to Boeing after almost 20 years.
  • For OEM and supply-chain planning, the specificity of variants and unit counts helps sharpen production and delivery expectations across two competing programs (787-10 and A350-1000).
