About Philippine Airlines:
Philippine Airlines (PAL) began life with a noble mission: to serve as a partner
in nation-building. With this in mind, PAL took to the skies on 15 March 1941, using
a Beech Model 18 aircraft amid the specter of a global war. It became Asia's first
airline. Philippine Airlines has become one of the most respected airlines around
the world with a young and modern fleet of aircraft and a route network that spans
33 foreign cities and 22 domestic points.
Philippine Airlines does not sit on its laurels. Realizing that it owes its success
to its loyal passengers, Philippine Airlines launched a campaign called "Call for
excellence" to serve its market better.
Philippine Airlines began embracing electronic commerce with the introduction of
its Online Booking service that accepts ticket purchases and credit card payments
for all flights. A new, improved website was also launched to serve the customers'
needs more quickly and efficiently. The future for Philippine Airlines has never
been more promising. Its' more than six decades of service has given the airline
a greater sense of purpose, a rising pride in its product and a confidence born
out of having survived probably the worst.
