The plane is being “retired” after 35 years.
“On Monday, September 1, pilots and cabin crew of Philippine Airlines (PAL)’s Boeing B747 bid the jet farewell at the Ninoy Aquino International Airport (NAIA),” reports Rudy Santos in The Philippine Star.
The report related that “the jet, last of PAL’s Boeing 747-400 series, arrived at NAIA at around 3:40am from its final flight from San Francisco.”
The report added that the plane “was doused with water from fire trucks of the Manila International Airport Authority (MIAA) as soon as it landed.”
The jet will be taken to Arizona in the U.S., where it would be dismantled.
