Formerly known as Philippine Air Lines, Philippine Airlines (PAL) was originally a part of Philippine Aerial Taxi Company Incorporated (PATCO), a business franchise that specialized in transporting passengers, mails, and packages to Luzon. After the franchise had gone dormant for 6 years, PAL was founded on 26 February 1941 by industrialist Andrés Soriano, Sr., who also served as the airline’s general manager. Soriano started the company together with several business partners, among them was Ramon Fernandez, a former senator that later became PAL’s president and chairman. The airline served its first regular flights between Manila and Baguio, using a Beechcraft Model 18 NPC-54 plane. In July 1941, the airline started receiving investment from the Philippine government to start the nationalization process. However, shortly after beginning its new service in Cebu, Philippine Airlines experienced a hiatus from 1941 to 1945 due to World War II. When the war was over, the airline resumed its operation with 15 additional domestic routes. The airline also received five new Douglas DC-3 aircraft and employed 108 people. As part of a rejuvenation effort after the war, Philippine Airlines returned its base of operation to Nielsen Field Airport in Makati, and renovated it, turning the airport into the official entry for all airlines in the Philippines. In 1946, Philippine Airlines became the first airline in Asia that flew its plane across the Pacific Ocean as the American Army chartered its Douglas DC-4 to fly to California. The airline also expanded its international routes to Hong Kong, Shanghai, and San Francisco in the same year. Philippine Airlines moved its base of operation from Nielsen Field to Nichols Field in Pasay, following the government’s renovation efforts to turn the airport, which was originally a US Air Force base, into the international airport of the Philippines. In 1948, the airline began to invest PHP 600,000 in order to renovate Nichols Field. Pasay later became the permanent headquarter for Philippine Airlines until today. In 1962, Philippine Airlines officially entered the jet era, with the addition of DC-8 jetliners to its fleet. In 1968, the DC-8 fleet served the airline’s first services to Singapore, Saigon, and Taipei. Philippine Airlines continued to expand its routes to Australia, Europe and, later, the Middle East. In 1993, Philippine Airlines proudly sent its first female pilot, Ma. Aurora Carandang, to fly a Fokker 50 from Manila to Baguio. Philippine Airlines got its first competitors in 1995 with the president’s Executive Order 219, which allowed other airlines to operate in the Philippines after years of monopoly in the industry due to President Marcos’s one-airline policy. However, Philippine Airlines kept innovating its services to face competition, one of which took the form of a new ticket payment system for domestic flights using express teller machines in Davau, Metro Manila, and Cebu. In September 1998, during the Asian financial crisis, Philippine Airlines experienced a setback. The airline must reduce its routes and fleet, and laid off many of its employees. The airline resumed its services in October 1998, but only in very restricted capacity. Fortunately, a financial rehabilitation plan from Dr. Lucio C. Tan and his partners was approved by the Philippine Securities and Exchange Commission. In 1999, Philippine Airlines finally resumed its full operations, and was able to earn PHP 44.2 million profits the next year. In October 2009, Air Philippines started taking over the entire operations of Philippine Airlines, and almost immediately added Boeing 777 as one of its fleets. The airline also made history by reconfiguring and improving the cabin condition of all A320 planes, becoming the first Philippine airline fleet that offered business class on domestic flights. In 2010, Philippine Airlines reopened its Middle East route after a four-year absence. In April 2015, Philippine Airlines started weekly flights from the Philippines to Quanzhou, Fujian, where many Filipino-Chinese families came from. In May 2015, Philippine Airlines reported a USD 85 million profit between January and March, thanks to its successful marketing and opening of new routes.
