The Philippine Star
|October 25, 2024
Flag carrier Philippine Airlines (PAL) made the list of the world's best airlines by British newspaper The Telegraph, with Middle East carriers leading the rankings.
PAL placed as the 62nd best airline in the world among 90 operators, piling up a score of 438 from the 16 criteria assessed by the broadsheet.
The Telegraph used four main criteria to arrange the list, and in those PAL scored 90 for in-flight experience, 61 for reliability, 55 for luggage rules and 23 for connectivity.
At 62nd, PAL bested some of the leading low-cost carriers in the world, such as AirAsia (63rd), Norwegian (64th), Scoot (65th), IndiGo (67th) and Vueling (76th). Likewise, PAL outperformed fellow flag carriers like Egyptair (68th), SriLankan Airlines (69th) and Royal Air Maroc (70th).
