Asia’s First Touches Down in Cebu!

The Mactan-Cebu International Airport Authority joined in welcoming the arrival of Philippine Airlines’ newest fleet, the Airbus A350-1000, which landed earlier at Mactan-Cebu International Airport.

This event is highly significant since PAL’s Airbus A350-1000 is the first of its kind in Asia, a milestone for the airline and for Philippine aviation.

A cabin tour of the aircraft was conducted and attended by MCIAA Public Affairs Division Manager Ms. Mary Ann M. Dimabayao and Airport Grounds Operations Division Manager Ms. Maria Cristina Matondo, together with Department of Tourism Philippines OIC Regional Director Ms. Gelena N. Asis-Dimpas, and partners from Aboitiz InfraCapital Cebu Airport Corporation.

The A350-1000 is among the world’s most advanced long-range wide-body aircraft, known for its fuel efficiency, quieter engines, and enhanced passenger comfort. As the newest addition to the PAL fleet, it supports the airline’s continued modernization as Philippine Airlines celebrates 85 years of service as Asia’s first commercial airline.
