Philippine Airlines (PAL) has had a busy year so far, marking its 82nd year of flying people in March with a flurry of activities. The country’s flag carrier looks forward to more meaningful years with hopeful promise, keen on flying towards a full recovery.
Earlier this year, PAL introduced a special Anniversary Menu, which reflects its continuing initiatives to elevate the overall flight experience of passengers. It featured curated meals that deliciously meld local and global culinary inspirations, delivered with a distinctly Filipino brand of service.
Among the dishes served are Tiger Prawn Sinigang, a merry mix of cherry tomato, green chili, eggplant, string beans, and water spinach; Filet Mignon served with asparagus and potato puree topped with Tanduay rum sauce; and Ilocano Cauliflower Adobo in vegan adobo sauce served with string beans and garlic fried rice.
The special menu is the latest development in a continuing drive to whip up new creations to spice up PAL’s in-flight menu offerings all year round.
In March, PAL flew an all-female flight crew from Manila to Guam (and back), in time to also commemorate International Women’s Month. PAL’s all-female flight crew participated in the Global Women’s forum held at the Guam Airport, where PAL’s “culture of inclusivity” was praised by its crew.
Most recently, the flag carrier released a heartfelt video highlighting the airline’s resilience and commitment to the Filipino people amidst the challenges of the pandemic.
In the midst of a recovery journey, PAL is keen on further improving its services and enhancing the travel experience of its valued customers.
The anniversary video featured PAL’s employees and frontliners, who have been instrumental in ensuring the safety of its passengers despite the hurdles in the past two years. The video also showcased the airline’s efforts in transporting vaccines and connecting Filipinos across the world during these trying times.
In line with its commitment to its customers, PAL has also announced its plans, including gearing up to expand its fleet amid the projected growth in passenger volume. PAL is also preparing to expand its route network and introduce new service innovations.
