The service package includes component maintenance, repair and overhaul (MRO), along with access to Lufthansa Technik’s global spare parts pool and a homebase stock at PALex’s premises in the Philippines.
By offering domestic and short-haul international flights, PALex expands accessibility to key destinations and serves as the domestic and regional arm of Philippine Airlines. For many years, Philippine Airlines has shared a close partnership with Lufthansa Technik, which has continuously strengthened over time. Now, PALex is also expanding its collaboration with the provider of technical aircraft services. Just a few days ago, the airline signed an agreement with Lufthansa Technik AERO Alzey for MRO services on PW150 engines that power the airline’s De Havilland Canada Dash aircraft operating regional routes across the Philippines.
Jens Michel, Vice President Corporate Sales North East Asia at Lufthansa Technik, stated: “We are delighted that PAL express is strengthening its commitment to Lufthansa Technik by choosing us once again—this time to provide component support for their A320s. Leveraging our worldwide network of materials and spare parts pools, we remain committed to delivering outstanding services. As PAL express continues to grow and expand its operations, we are excited to contribute to their success and further enhance our partnership. We look forward to reaching new heights together.”
