1022nd Boeing 777 built, delivered to PR in 2012.
Philippine Airlines began deploying its first Boeing 777-300ER aircraft on the Manila-Los Angeles route on May 3 in a move that will help the carrier to significantly reduce the cost of fuel and maintenance.
The decision comes following the country's recent upgrade to Category 1 status by the United States Federal Aviation Administration. While under Category 2 status, Philippine Airlines was prevented from expanding to new destinations in the United States, increasing the frequency of flights, changing the aircraft used on its existing US flights, and code-sharing with US carriers. The Philippines was in Category 2 status for more than six years.
