PAL hosts Beverly Hills reception for new fleet, 777 Manila-LA flight, PH aviation safety upgrade
LOS ANGELES, California — Philippine Airlines on June 12 celebrated auspicious events at the Beverly Hills Wilshire Hotel with two hundred attendees from the travel industry, Boeing and GE Aviation officials, government and the Filipino American community eagerly awaiting the announcement of “something big.”
Ambassador Jose L. Cuisia Jr., giving a toast on the 116th commemoration of the Philippine Independence, also announced the reinstatement of Philippine Aviation rating to Category 1, welcomed PAL’s spanking new fleet of 777E300 long-range wide body twin engine Boeing jetliners and the formal launch of the airline’s “Triple Seven” fleet service to the US starting with the Manila-Los Angeles route.
Ramon S. Ang, PAL president and chief operating officer, announced the retirement of their 747s, which have flown the skies for more than two decades, proudly enumerating the benefits of the “Triple Sevens” — 25 percent less fuel, 40 percent lower maintenance costs and 25 percent more efficient.
