Philippine Airlines (PAL) has entered into a temporary wet-lease agreement with Wamos Air.
This agreement aims to ensure PAL’s effective fleet management and operational resilience during the upcoming peak travel period. This temporary agreement will take effect on June 1, 2024.
PAL is leasing two Airbus A330-200s with a dual-class configuration, to operate its Manila-Sydney-Manila and Manila-Melbourne-Manila flights for a 5-month period.
PAL president and chief operating officer Capt. Stanley K. Ng said: “We have additional maintenance requirements during this period due to global supply chain issues that continue to impact the industry. We see the need to temporarily add these aircraft to ensure that we have sufficient capacity to meet the demand that we are anticipating across our network"".
“We chose Wamos Air because of their track record as one of Europe’s leading charter carriers. We are working closely with the carrier to ensure that our passengers will continue to receive the service quality they can expect from Philippine Airlines,” added Capt. Ng.
