Never ride in Pal Boeing 747 400 but I rode in Delta Airlines Boeing 747 400 from the Philippines to Usa since 2013 akala ko Pal lang ang nagretire ng kanilang B 747 pero yun pala maging ang ibang airlines gaya ng Delta,United,Klm at probably British Airways ayun niretire na din nila yung kanilang B 747 ang meron nalang na B 747 as passenger plane palagay ko lufthansa kaso B 747 800 naman yun ibang 747 ginagamit nalang as cargo plane gaya ng Cargolux or Ups mga ganun sayang maganda pa naman ang 747 lalo na yung pagkadesign yan ang gusto sa 747 may 2nd floor sayang rinetire daw kasi luma na at malakas daw sa gas may tinanong ako isang pilot kasi sa airport ako nagwowork eh bilang aircraft cabin cleaner kaya ayun nakakalungkot pero kailangan talaga iretire.
The current PAL livery is almost 40 years old but still is relevant today and looks really good. There is something about its simplicity that makes it really pleasing to the eye.
Here's one fun fact: Philippine Airlines actually had a hand in the establishment of Japan Airlines, when it leased a DC-3, later to be named "Kinsei" for that airline to start up its operations.
@@madaviation7013 Wait cant boeing just use their modern technolodgy and make a super fuel efficent boeing 747? After all they are almost done makeing the 777X So why not use the tech from the 777X to make the new 747 aircraft And that the 747 will stay with us for longer and since the 747 has lots of seats the airline can get lots of profits from the seats/passengers while also saving money so its a win win for the airline.
Im lucky i flew my first a340 of pal before it retired we were supposed to have an a330 back to manila from bangkok but its a full flight so we upgraded to an a340 in 2018
I remember Sun Riser and Fokker 50, my college days riding during summer, christmas and sem-break MRQ-MLA-MRQ first time to be a memebr of PAL's Flying Student
Not just in Southeast Asia, but in Asia as a whole. Hell, Japan Airlines actually owes its existence to PAL, when it leased a DC-3 to JAL to start up its operations.
You forgot B747-400M (Combi) which Philippine Airlines does have but only one. It was supposed to be delivered to El Al but it did not taken up and given to Philippine Airlines instead. It's registration is *RP-C7475*
I'm from Bangladesh Dhaka city but still I'm married Philippine pagadian city saloagan Demataling I love Philippine very much last year 2019. I'm going to Philippine Manila to pagadian city yes next year 2022. I well come back Philippine love Philippine airlines long life Philippine 💝🇧🇩🇵🇭💝
There is an error in this list as to the years of service . The DC 10 retired in 1996 . I flew on that aircraft regularly in the 1980,s and early 90,s .
In this video the all PAL Planes are I have a drawing B727, 747, A340, MD 11 and others I hopefully soon Phiippine airlines are have airbus A380 and Boeing B787-9
Excuse Me @MadAviation BAKIT Di na Sila Nag Lease or nag Order Ng Bagong Boeing 737 Max O A320 Neo. Kahit May A321 Neo sila. Wla namang A320 Neo. O Ibang Option Ang 737 Max 8?
Philippine Airlines don't necessarily need a 737 MAX and a320 neo at the moment because the A320 ceo and a321 neos are sufficient on the short-mid haul routes at the moment. They could order either one of them if demand gets higher
Nice video; thanks for sharing. I grew up in Manila in the 50s, and the pictures of both the Viscount and the DC-3 bring back many fond memories: the Viscount between Manila and Hong Kong; the DC-3 from Manila to Baguio. (At that time, PAL had put all their international routes except for the Hong Kong run in abeyance; and as a kid, I found the descent into Baguio to be thrilling.)
it was actually part of the fleet! I didnt know that sorry for that not being included here. but I think PAL only had a small amount of them thought and some were probaly leases
Well I do not know exactly where all PAL aircraft go to retire but if some were going to be sold it would be cheaper than the original price PAL got it
Except for a few planes, usually PAL does not buy planes. They lease them. Many of the planes of PAL today are leased from airline companies like Singapore Airlines and other big airlines who continuously upgrade their fleets, and lease out their older planes to "smaller" airlines. Some PAL planes I know were scrapped like the BAC 111 which was gutted and sold for junk.
@@madaviation7013 Some of them is just left to rot, just see PAL 747 in an Airplane Junkyard, Sam Chui had pictures of a non-existent rotted, no logo PAL B747-200 or 300.
I think pal will retire all planes because i want to ride the 747 then they retired it second tought i want to ride the a340 they retired it :( now thats why my favorite is cebu pacific
*edit my reason that ceb pac is my fav airline is bcuz of the liveries and service and the fact you can take pictures with the pilot not like pal where it aint allowed
