PAL hiring more flight crews


MANILA, Philippines - Philippine Airlines is looking to hire more flight crews as an expansion program anticipates a growing market for air travel.

During the delivery of its third Boeing 777-300ER last week, PAL president Ramon Ang said PAL’s growth rests on the modernization of its fleet, the expansion of its network and improvements in passenger service.

“Philippine Airlines must become known for its warm, sincere and hospitable service; we operate in a very competitive environment, but one with a wealth of opportunity, the Asia-Pacific is the fastest growing market for air travel and we need to improve our competitiveness as an airline,” Ang said.

The airline will be acquiring three more 777-300ERs until November next year, 2013, completing its fleet modernization for long haul flights and replacing the aging B747 fleet.

PAL said flight crew applicants from Metro Manila and Luzon should go to the Diamond Hotel from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. on August 11for the Airlines Cabin Crew Recruitment Tour, which will kick off a nationwide drive. Registration ends at 10 a.m.

Aspiring cabin crews from from Visayas and Mindanao are advised to watch for announcements of when the recruitment tour goes to their regions.

Applicants should bring their resumes with close-up and full-body photos, and apply in person.
