Airbus Emerges As Top PH Aircraft Supplier
From the best-selling single aisle Family to the popular widebody and A340, the manufacturer's aircraft are flying with all the major carriers in the country, operating from short domestic flights to the longest intercontinental services to the United States.
In recent years, Airbus recorded several high-profile orders from airlines in the country, including contracts from Philippine Airlines (PAL) incovering a total of 44 of Family aircraft and
"This is the largest aircraft order in Philippine history and we're delighted to partner once more with Airbus in creating aviation history," said Ismael Augusto Gozon, senior vice president for operations of PAL.
Airbus's relationship with the Philippines is long-standing. It dates back to the manufacturer's early days, when in 1978 PAL placed an initial order for the original A300B4--the world's first widebody twinjet airliner.
"Indeed, we are old friends. The partnership between PAL and Airbus goes back 35 years, to 1978, when we ordered our first A300-B4, making PAL the second Asian airline and first in Southeast Asia to order Airbus aircraft," Gozon added.
Affectionately dubbed the "Lovebus" by PAL, the first aircraft arrived in Manila in marking the start of an extremely successful partnership between the European manufacturer and the Philippines.
With a maximum take-off weight of 235 tons, this aircraft is destined to be a game changer for PAL enabling us to open up new frontiers in our rapidly growing network as well as in service innovations for our passengers.
We look forward to the rest of the deliveries until and, beyond that, to more collabo-ration with Airbus.
At present, PAL operates Family aircraft on its domestic and regional network, nine A330s on regional services across Asia and seven A340-300s on long-range routes to the United States. Meanwhile, PAL Express operates on its domestic and regional network.
Asian network
The country's leading low-cost carrier Cebu Pacific became a customer for Airbus in when it selected the Family to replace its existing fleet of DC-9 and B757 aircraft. Altogether, the airline has placed firm orders for 71 aircraft and is currently operating Family aircraft for its fast-growing Asian network.
Airbus finalized a major new order with Cebu Pacific for 30 of the latest generation neo, reaffirming the fast-growing carrier's all-Airbus fleet status in the jet category.
In Cebu Pacific took delivery of the first two of four A330s being leased by the airline. The widebody aircraft are currently operated by Cebu Pacific on domestic and regional routes, before launching its long-haul services to the Middle East, bringing the carrier's value-based concept to new markets.
In addition to the country's two biggest airlines, Airbus aircraft also form the backbone of a number of carriers operating in the lowcost market.
These include Zest Air, which currently operates Family aircraft on its domestic network, as well as on its new international services to Asian destinations.
The year saw the addition of two new Airbus operators in the Philippines. First was Seair (now Tigerair Philippines) which now operates five Family aircraft in partnership with Tiger Airways of Singapore.
Seair was followed in August 2011 by AirAsia Philippines, which took delivery of its first two aircraft to develop its domestic and regional network out of the Philippines.
