FLAG carrier Philippine Airlines (PAL) said Wednesday it has sufficient jet fuel supply to ensure uninterrupted domestic and international operations in the coming months.
The announcement follows President Ferdinand Marcos Jr.’s warning that jet fuel shortage may ground planes.
"The airline recognizes that global supply conditions remain dynamic. As part of prudent planning, PAL continues to work closely with fuel suppliers, industry partners, and government stakeholders to ensure stable and efficient operations over the longer term," PAL said in a statement.
While PAL acknowledged that fuel prices have more than doubled, it is working with government and industry partners to maintain stable and efficient operations amid dynamic global supply conditions.
Meanwhile, Gokongwei-led Cebu Pacific (CEB) said it has secured fuel supply through the end of April and is already working on supply for May and beyond.
"Things are working well for us at a time that we're very financially strong, coming from 2025, which was a record year," CEB said in a statement.
CEB said 73 percent of its network is domestic, and 72 percent of its jet fleet consists of Airbus NEOs, which are new-generation, fuel-efficient.
