PAL is gearing up to increase its flight frequency to North America toward the end of 2025, as Airbus commits to start bringing in the A3501000s around that time.

Aside from this, Airbus informed PAL it would deliver the first of the A321neos as scheduled in 2026. Fernandez said these aircraft orders – nine A350-1000s and 13 A321neos – are enough for PAL to throttle the business back to full strength in the aftermath of the pandemic.
