MANILA, Philippines – PAL Express, the regional arm of Philippine Airlines (PAL), is set to take over the maintenance of its own fleet, amid reports that Lufthansa Technik Philippines (LTP) is discontinuing its line maintenance operations.

While LTP has yet to confirm this change, PAL Express operations manager Jessie Peñaflor said in a social media post that “PAL Express aircraft maintenance will assume responsibility for the line maintenance of the Philippine Airlines fleet in the Philippines.”

The Inquirer has reached out to LTP, but it has yet to respond as of this writing.
