PAL Posts $77 Million Q1 Profit as Passenger Numbers Grow
As it rolls out promotional fares, PAL also reported its first-quarter 2025 financial performance, logging a $77 million net income. This is slightly lower than the $80.9 million earned in the same period last year, but the airline saw a 5% growth in passenger volume, flying approximately 4.1 million travelers during the first quarter.
This continued passenger growth signals resilient demand for air travel as the industry recovers and expands in both domestic and international markets.
New Leadership at the Helm: Richard Nuttall Takes Over as President
In line with its ongoing transformation, PAL recently underwent a significant leadership shift. British aviation executive Richard Nuttall officially assumed the role of President of Philippine Airlines effective May 29, 2025.
Nuttall, who brings decades of experience in global airline operations, is expected to lead PAL through its post-pandemic growth phase, focusing on fleet modernization, customer service excellence, and profitability.
Why This Matters for Filipino Travelers
With these low-cost fares, PAL aims to make flying more accessible to Filipinos nationwide and abroad. The Independence Day promo also reflects the airline’s commitment to providing more travel opportunities in celebration of national pride.
