^If Canada recognize and convert FAA license then your best bet would join a Carrier na pattern sa FAA.

Sa Pinas pa lang try mo apply sa mga airline na required ang FAA license ex. DL/CO and 5X . Pinapadala nila mga mechanic nila sa US to take FAA license.

If sa CX and M.E carriers except SV ang license under JAR (european accredited).

-------actually im here in canada right now, i have my resume with me and im trying to look for a job here kahit hindi aircraft mechanic basta airline related work, im here as a visitor stayin sa brother ko who lives here. i have no plans na mag tnt, i try ko lang mag hanap ng work habang nsa bakasyon...

I have a ato/caap A&P lic. Type rating for A320 family aircraft for ceb pac. And other trainings, seminars etc.

China Eastern Cancels 787 Order

March 29, 2012

China Eastern Airlines has scrapped an order for 24 787 Dreamliners from Boeing, the plane maker said on Thursday.

China Eastern replaced the Dreamliner order with an order for 45 Boeing 737NGs.

Boeing also said it took an order for two additional 787s from Air New Zealand.

Boeing also reduced its net 737 orders by two, but did not say which customer cancelled the orders.

The deals bring Boeing's net orders to 406 commercial planes for this year.

PAL, AirPhil set refleeting programs that can cost up to $1B
By: Doris C. Dumlao
Philippine Daily Inquirer

MANILA, Philippines—Philippine Airlines, which recently took in the San Miguel Corp as a new investor, is seen investing as much as $1 billion for a fleet modernization program that will make the storied flag carrier more competitive.

Ramon S. Ang, president of SMC who signed a deal last week to acquire 49 percent each of PAL Holdings and Air Philippines Corp., said the conglomerate welcomed “the opportunity to participate in the refleeting and modernization plans of the two airlines.”

In a text message, Ang said the fleet modernization would cost at least $500 million to as much as $1 billion.

The $500-million minimum requirement is what SMC is infusing into several holding firms that will result in its equity investment in PAL and AirPhil, where the conglomerate is expected to exercise management control even if the majority stake would remain with the group of taipan Lucio Tan.

In a statement jointly issued by the Lucio Tan group and SMC, the two groups said the new partnership would “allow the two airlines to strengthen operations and stay competitive with the implementation of PAL and AirPhil’s fleet modernization program.”

Industry sources explained that because SMC’s entry into PAL and AirPhil would involve the issuance of new shares, new money would flow into the carriers. For capital spending beyond $500 million, the source said the airlines could fund this through debt rather than equity so as not to disrupt the existing capital structure.

Based on the latest regulatory filing of PAL Holdings, the flag carrier has the following capital expenditure commitment for the medium term:

o PAL has a supplemental agreement with Boeing signed in 2007
relating to its exercise of purchase rights for two Boeing 777-300ER aircraft for delivery in fiscal year 2012.

o PAL and Boeing agreed in June 2009 to reschedule the deliveries of four Boeing 777-300ER aircraft from their original delivery schedules of fiscal year 2010, 2011 and 2012 to fiscal years 2013 and 2014.

o PAL signed in June last year operating lease agreements for the lease of two Airbus A320-200 aircraft for delivery in March and May 2012. A Letter of Intent was likewise signed in July 2011 for the lease of additional two Airbus A320-200 for delivery in October and November 2012.

Under the deal signed last week, SMC will buy into PAL and AirPhil through several layers of holding companies. This will lead to SMC’s acquisition of 49 percent of PAL’s publicly listed parent firm PAL Holdings that, in turn, will give it an effective control of at least 40 percent of PAL while SMC will also get 49 percent of AirPhil.

PAL Holdings disclosed that its majority shareholder Trustmark Holdings Corp. had entered into investment agreements with a unit of SMC resulting in the issuance of shares to the San Miguel group, where the latter will take a minority stake in PAL Holdings. “The investment through Trustmark will be flowed down to Philippine Airlines, which is expected to strengthen and enhance the operations of the airline,” the disclosure said.

The investment will be made by SMC through a wholly owned unit, San Miguel Equity Investments Inc. (SMEII). Under the agreement, Trustmark and Zuma Holdings and Management Corp. (Zuma)—the holding companies of PAL and AirPhilwill issue new shares to SMEII.

PAL Holdings’ consolidated total comprehensive loss for the nine months of its fiscal year ending Dec. 31, 2011, amounted to P3.6 billion, down 212 percent from a year ago as passenger and cargo revenues declined 13 percent.

^^^More 777-300ERs and 787-9/8s to replace the A330s and A340s. Twin engine all the way! We hope to see this soon. Though I also do feel that they need to join an alliance. They are not like an ME carrier who does not need an alliance.

What is the point of this article? There's nothing new in it. The B777 and A320 orders were a done deal several years ago, long before SMC news even broke out.

Title's very misleading. PDI needs to sort their business segment write-up.

true. Akala ko may bago akong mababasa, 777 and A320 pa din pala.

[bridget_jones]

How true???

[CosmicArcher]

How true???

Very true.

It has happened already.
KLM flights going in/out of Manila is now routed via Taiwan.

The Philippine government has single-handedly killed off our reputation as a business site and tourism destination.

With no other European airlines flying here (apart from KLM), PH airlines are STILL blacklisted from EU airspace....no amount of slogan--no matter how "fun"--will convince business/leisure travellers to visit the Philippines.

[CosmicArcher]

One day before launch of PAL flight between Manila and Bali will be the inaugural of Kalibo - Hong Kong.

Kalibo – Hong Kong eff 27APR12
PR290 KLO1650 – 1920HKG 320 25
PR289 HKG1320 – 1550KLO 320 25

Starting on May 5, the Koreans will find it easier to go to Boracay as well.
Kalibo – Seoul Incheon eff 05MAY12
PR486 KLO1510 – 2025ICN 320 x125
PR487 ICN2125 – 0050+1KLO 320 x125

I surely hope they try to study and develop more flights going directly to the islands, rather than passing through Manila! This is surely a great way to entice Asians who are just about 4 hours flying hours away to come and spend a weekend with us!

I am waiting to see the Kalibo-Singapore, Cebu-Singapore route soon too!

As well as the Cebu - Darwin, Australia be a reality!

Uu nga. Excited pa naman akong basahin yung article. I thought something new. I was hoping to read about refleeting plans for the A340/A330 and the 747s.

Indeed, nothing new.

[dexneg]

Oh my, now i realize. Maybe, the entry of SMC was to finance the 777s (kasi nga naman yung 777 parang refleeting na rin yun?) and the A320s?

Air Asia 'gives away plane' in contest
Sydney: 45 minutes ago

Some airlines give away a few free seats, others a few vouchers. But AirAsia X says it is going where no airline has gone before and is giving away an entire plane.

The low cost carrier is giving one lucky AirAsia Australia’s Facebook fan and 302 of his or her Facebook friends a free return flight to Kuala Lumpur travelling on board AirAsia X Airbus A330-300.

The winner and their carefully chosen friends will get to experience AirAsia X award winning service on this specially reserved flight to the AirAsia X hub in Kuala Lumpur, its gateway to over 60 destinations in South East Asia including Phuket, Bangkok, Ho Chi Minh and many more, where they’ll live it up in Kuala Lumpur including three nights accommodation, before returning home on their private plane, said a statement.

The competition, believed to be the world’s first to be organised in an Airbus A330 aircraft, was launched today to celebrate AirAsia X’s new daily Sydney-Kuala Lumpur service which began on April 2. It is open only to Australian residents.

Entry is via a specially designed ‘Friendsy’ app on AirAsia Australia’s Facebook page and the winner will be drawn on June 12. The AirAsia Friendsy plane will depart November 2 from Sydney Airport to Kuala Lumpur and return to Sydney on November 5, 2012.

“Why would we give away an Airbus A330? To show it’s possible for everyone to fly and so that everyone can see why we’re the World’s Best Low-Cost Airline,” AirAsia X CEO Azran Osman-Rani said.

“Our bold move is part of our social media promotion drive, offering our awesome guests a little X-citement, while testing our social media strength and influence. We believe that the idea would also lift our brand further in Australia and surrounding region.”

The AirAsia Friendsy app is available at www.facebook.com/AirAsiaAustralia

AirAsia was named the World’s Best Low Cost Airline in the annual World Airline Survey by Skytrax for three consecutive years in 2009, 2010 and 2011. – TradeArabia News Service
