Both Airbus and Boeing are set to win widebody orders from Philippine Airlines (PAL) at this year’s Farnborough Airshow, according to Reuters.
On July 10, 2026, Reuters reported that the 85-year-old carrier is on the cusp of agreeing to purchase 15 Boeing 787-10 Dreamliners and nine Airbus A350-1000 aircraft.
Philippine Airlines already operates Airbus’ A350-1000 after receiving its first in December 2025 and its second in June 2026. According to ch-aviation data, the carrier is awaiting seven more.
While Philippine Airlines has a long history of flying Boeing aircraft, including its current 777-300ERs, the carrier has never previously operated Boeing’s 787-10 Dreamliner.
A similar order in May 2026 saw the Lufthansa Group buy 10 Airbus A350-900s and 10 Boeing 787-9 Dreamliners. Lufthansa valued the deal at $7.7 billion at list prices.
Farnborough Airshow 2026 is just over a week away and normally becomes a hive of activity for new orders from global airlines.
In July 2024, flynas ordered 75 A320neo family aircraft and 15 A330-900s while Qatar Airways signed off on 20 Boeing 777-9s. Virgin Atlantic also placed a firm order for seven A330neo aircraft.
