Philippine Airlines has firmed an order for nine additional A350-1000s from Airbus with purchase rights for five more. The order brings its total commitment for the type to 18 aircraft. The agreement signed on 5 November 2026 finalises a memorandum of understanding announced at the Farnborough Airshow in July. The carrier has also finalised an agreement with Rolls-Royce for Trent XWB-97 engines and TotalCare maintenance support.
Deliveries of the additional aircraft are scheduled between 2034 and 2036. The carrier currently operates four A350-1000s delivered under its original 2023 order for nine aircraft alongside two A350-900s, ten A330-300s and ten B777-300ERs as part of its widebody fleet.
The order expands Philippine Airlines’ long-haul fleet. The carrier has commitments for up to twenty B787-10s. The A350-1000 order supports the airline’s international network growth.
