FOR THE PAST 19 YEARS, the classic dark green and blue eagle of Cebu Pacific Air has become a symbol for affordable air travel in the Philippines. Dala ng agilang ito ang konsepto ng "low cost" travel sa ating bansa. Sa kasagsagan ng kanilang mga "Piso fares" noon kung saan ang base fare ng ticket na iyong babayaran ay nagkakahalaga lamang ng ₱1 (one Philippine peso), nakakabili ang madla ng one-way ticket patungo sa mga domestic destinations sa halagang hindi pa aabot ng ₱50.

Ang pinaka-mura ko ngang nakuhang ticket to Cebu noon, ₱32 lang! Those were the days before taxes, airport fees, and surcharges skyrocketed. I still had to pay my terminal fee at a separate counter at the old domestic terminal!

From Douglas DC-9s to Boeing 757s, from Airbus A319s to A330s and ATRs, the dark green and blue eagle has linked the Philippines to the globe. On her wings, she carried millions of Filipinos to their dream destinations, and to hopes for a better future abroad.

In 2015, the airline underwent a rebrand. The eagle was modified, now styled for the future of 21st century air travel. Moving away from the classic colors, the airline focused on the sun, sea, and sand of the Philippines, featuring a brighter and lighter yellow, green and blue palette.

Fast forward to 2026, the last of the aircraft to wear the airline's old livery was retired. After 21 years of operation, Cebu Pacific Air's peach mango (NOT MANGGA!!!!) pie chapter has come to a close. Just as the peach mango pie livery symbolized a new era for the airline with the arrival of the Airbus A320-family in 2005, the new livery also signifies the next chapter in the airline's history as the airline continues to transition to an all-Airbus NEO (New Engine Option) fleet.

I'll definitely miss the classic eagle adorning the fuselage that greets you when you board the aircraft. And I hope that one day, we'll have Cebu Pacific Air retro jets flying overhead.

Ingat sa mga “Tweety Birds”, baka mahigop sa makina o maka-bird strike pa.

Airplanes and birds, or chismis, don’t mix well. 😝😝

NINE MORE AIRBUS A350-1000s FOR PHILIPPINE AIRLINES | Hot on the heels of the Filipino flag carrier’s Boeing order during Farnborough, the company has just announced an order for nine (9) additional Airbus A350-1000s, bringing the airline’s total order to 18!

The Airbus A350 is Airbus’ newest and most advanced long range jet. Powered by the Rolls-Royce Trent XWB engines, the aircraft is designed to fly on ultra long-haul routes like Manila to New York while giving passengers a 21st century travel experience. As of writing, Philippine Airlines is currently Southeast Asia’s first and only operator of the longest variant of the A350.

2026 is shaping to be an excellent year for the flag carrier, with multiple aircraft orders spread across European aircraft giant Airbus and the American aviation trailblazer Boeing.

With new widebodies slated to arrive in the coming years, the next thing to look forward to is what will be the replacement for the tired A320s the airline operated on short, regional routes.

🇵🇭💛 MEET THE A320neo MAX PAX | It was in November 2025 when the Philippines' leading low-cost carrier, Cebu Pacific Air, took delivery of two brand new Airbus A320neo equipped with 194-economy seats featuring Airbus' Cabin Flex configuration. By removing parts of the galley, and cabin dividers, the European aircraft manufacturer was able to increase the maximum seating configuration of the Airbus A320 from 180 seats to 194, practically maxing out the aircraft's cabin.

Quite a big jump, since the airline originally configured their A320s with 179 economy seats back in 2005.

With 14 additional seats, I wonder how's the seat pitch onboard these MAX PAX variants.

INCIDENT IN MANILA | On the evening of July 7, 2026, a SAUDIA Boeing 787 operating flight SV871 to Jeddah struck the tail of a parked Philippine Airlines Airbus A320 as the widebody jet was taxiing to runway 24 on taxiway L. The PAL Airbus, RP-C8612, was parked on remote parking bay 25 when the incident occurred.

No details yet if there were injuries to the passengers and crew, but initial photos show significant damage to the vertical stabilizer, or tailfin, of the PAL Airbus.

10 Boeing 787s and 10 Airbus A350s for Philippine Airlines? 🤔

This would be the first order of the Filipino flag carrier from Boeing since 2007 when they ordered the Boeing 777-300ER.

WATCH: An all-widebody lineup in Manila’s Terminal 3! Aircraft from Boeing and Airbus, such as the Boeing 777, the Boeing 787, and the Airbus A330neo rest as they await their scheduled departure time out of the Philippine capital. From United Airlines to Cebu Pacific Air, and from domestic short-haul legs, to long-haul transpacific crossings, these aircraft provide the vital air bridge that connects the Philippines to the world.

And check out how quiet the Airbus A321neo is as we taxi on single engine towards our assigned parking bay - a coughing passenger was louder than the engine noise!

The whining sound, I am not sure but that could probably be the yellow hydraulic pump powering essential systems that would have shut down in case of a single engine taxi procedure.

WATCH: Arriving in Manila, with the smoothest landing I’ve ever experienced, onboard Philippine Airlines flight PR1854 - nonstop Airbus A321 service from Mactan-Cebu. I kid you not, this is the smoothest landing I have experienced so far, to the point that I was surprised to see the ground spoilers deploy as we did not feel the main gears kiss the pavement!

See the sights around Manila, including the Major Danilo Atienza Air Base in Sangley Point as fly overhead on short final, and notice the gusty wind condition as we get lower to the ground.

Welcome back to Manila. Sit back, relax, and enjoy the video.
