Punctual flights, miles expansion push PAL profit higher in 9 months
The Philippine Star
|November 12, 2025
Flag carrier Philippine Airlines (PAL) has solidified its growth story by booking P9 billion in net income as of September, propelled by industry-leading punctuality and expansion of its frequent flyer program.
-
Based on its financial report, PAL’s parent PAL Holdings Inc. said its profit grew by more than a third to P9.03 billion in the nine months to September, from P6.76 billion a year ago.
Although expenses went up by four percent to P124.85 billion, PAL mitigated this by increasing its revenue by three percent to P136.01 billion.
PAL's passenger revenues rose by one percent to P116.56 billion, driven by flight redemptions in August when the airline offered exclusive promos for Mabuhay Miles members. Mabuhay Miles’ active membership has expanded by 15 percent as of September.
