Philippine Airlines (PAL) plans to order nine Airbus A350-1000 wide-body jets.

The carrier will also acquire 15 Boeing 787-10 aircraft as part of a split fleet expansion.

This modernization strategy targets fuel efficiency and long-haul growth to North America.

Industry sources expect a formal announcement at the Farnborough Airshow in late July.

Airbus, Boeing, and PAL have not officially commented on the deal.
