Does PAL have significant safety issues???

[mybrico]

I dont think any major Philippine airline has safety issues, certainly not PAL or Cebu. The JV with Lufthansa at MNL does the major checks and they also carry out D Checks etc for many airlines around the world including QF, VS and LH. You may recall in 2008 when QF had issues - the planes had been serviced in Australian not the Philippines, in fact the 747- 4000 with the exploding gas container landed at MNL was repaired there. I would much rather fly on PAL or even Loco with Cebu with their modern fleets than say JET2 in the UK with their old chinese boeings etc no matter how good JET2 are at servicing them.
