PAL to use Boeing 777-300s in Manila-London Heathrow flight starting Sept. 19

THE Philippine flag carrier will start deploying its 370-seater Boeing 777-300s that will fly passengers from Manila to London Heathrow four times a week starting on Sept. 19, an official said.

“With its range and operational capability, the flag carrier will be at par with other full service carriers along the route. We will also increase capacity as the aircraft will have a 370-seating capacity on a two – class configuration (42 on business and 328 on economy) as compared to the 254-seating capacity of the A340,” Jaime Bautista, PAL president and chief operating officer said in a statement late Tuesday.
