“We greatly appreciate the recognition for the monumental efforts of our employees, service partners and industry stakeholders in achieving this on-time performance milestone, which affirms the long-term investments we are making in enhancing reliability and efficiency in all our operations, and always at the highest level of safety inline with Philippine Airlines’ uncompromising safety culture,” said PAL president and COO Capt. Stanley K. Ng.
PAL’s seventh-place ranking positions it ahead of many prominent Southeast Asian, Chinese, Korean, and Australian carriers. The list also features airlines from Japan, New Zealand, Indonesia, Thailand, Singapore, Vietnam, Hong Kong, and Australia.
