When you hear the story of Philippine Airlines you'll think it's a movie story. We're serious. PAL has one of the best characters of any company out there. They have been in business for over 60 years. Over the course of those years, PAL has witnessed some amazing transitions within its country and has seen some lean times business wise as well. They lived through the Asian financial crisis and are still in business. Keep reading to learn more about the tremendous resilience of Philippine Airlines.

Help build a nation was the mission of Philippines Airlines from the beginning. March 15, 1941 was when the company was launched. PAL had only one aircraft when it first started which is pretty amazing. Keeping in mind the world events of 1941, it's even more amazing to realize that it was a small aircraft. Starting out with a brave heart, they have continued to take action with that same attitude.

Where ever PAL goes, good things seem to happen, partly because they are a socially aware company. This helps them stand out above other airline companies. Their fleet of aircraft that now numbers in the dozens includes two ...
... Boeing 777s, the latest in heavy aircraft.

Philippine Airlines offers a wide range of hotel and tour packages to their passengers similar to most major airlines. PAL made a concerted effort to choose only those programs and packages that provide the greatest amount of variety for their customers. This helps PAL ensure that they can provide for your tastes regardless of your preferences. This also means that PAL's exclusive catering to corporate frequent fliers is well served. A special department was created to provide custom business frequent flier packages. The end result is their corporate business customers will be totally accommodated.

When you fly Philippine Airlines in the Philippines, you will no doubt experience the amenities offered by The Mabuhay Lounge. PAL actually owns this and uses it as their own airport lounge. However, this great lounge can only be used by Mabuhay Class passengers and the people who belong to the Mabuhay Premier Elite and Miles Elite membership programs. The international airports in Los Angeles, Honolulu and San Francisco also offer the Mabuhay Lounges. This is just one of the great perks that is offered by PAL to its highly valued customers.

Many storms have been weathered by Philippine Airlines in their more than sixty years of operation. Considering they started out with one small Beechcraft airplane in 1941, this is pretty amazing. Life seems to be reflected in many ways in this not altogether sad story. They did not give up regardless of what was happening to them and around them. They were able to survive through a world war, suggesting nothing else is quite as bad.
