A statement released by the Philippine Airlines (PAL) said that it will buy up to nine turbo-propeller aircraft from Canada's Bombardier Aerospace to revive its inter island operations, Reuters reported.
PAL, the country's largest carrier by fleet size, said it is buying three Q300s and six Q400s for $150 million. Deliveries are expected within the next six months. The Q300s will be configured with 50 seats, while the Q400s will seat 76 passengers.
PAL said the low seat-mile costs offered by the turboprop fleet will reduce fares for inter island travel.
