Philippine Airlines (PAL) has signed a digital transformation agreement with global aviation software provider Ramco Systems to automate and optimize its business operations.
Under the agreement, Ramco will deploy a solution, a state-of-the-art Aviation Suite V5.9, that will replace standalone legacy systems that will integrate, automate and enhance business performances across PAL and its affiliate PAL Express.
Aligned with PAL’s Accelerated Initiatives for Recoveries and Full Optimization through Innovation and Leadership (AIRFOIL) program, Ramco’s on-cloud, next-gen platform will offer the flag carrier end-to-end optimization of maintenance and engineering processes supportive of regulatory compliance and enable a digital transformation via paperless operations.
“At PAL, our focus has always been on improving our global network infrastructure and making Philippine Airlines worthy of our customers’ enduring trust and support. This has led us to embark on a transformational journey towards technological upgrades and innovation,” Capt. Stanley Ng, president and chief operating officer, said.
“The extensive functionalities of Ramco’s next-gen Aviation Software, together with our shared values of excellence and customer-centricity, will offer us a technological edge and will help us serve our customers with a robust digital infrastructure,” he added.
P.R. Venketrama Raja, chairman, Ramco Systems, said, “The addition of the Philippines’ national flag carrier to our expanding clientele is testament to Ramco’s record as lead software provider in the airlines segment. Embedded with latest technology, best-in-class functionality and user-friendly features, Ramco Aviation Software has gained the trust of many leading operators in the industry. “
PAL is fortifying its network as air travel recovery gains steam globally.

PAL will launch a pioneer direct flights between Manila and Perth, Australia in March 2023, and re-open flights between the Philippines and Beijing, Shanghai and Macau in addition to other mainland Chinese destinations.
