Fleet


PAL Airlines (IATA: 5P, ICAO: PCP) is a Chilean airline established in 2003, based at Comodoro Arturo Merino Benítez International Airport in Santiago. The carrier is known for operating a balanced fleet mixing long-haul wide-body capacity with regional narrow-body aircraft, enabling both intercontinental and domestic network coverage from its Chilean hub.
The airline's fleet comprises Airbus A330 and A340 wide-body jets alongside Boeing 737 and 757 narrow-body aircraft. This combination allows PAL Airlines to serve extended routes across South America and beyond while maintaining efficient regional connectivity. The A330 and A340 aircraft are particularly suited to the airline's long-haul operations, while the 737 and 757 handle regional and medium-haul services.
Since its founding two decades ago, PAL Airlines has developed operations from Santiago, Chile's primary international gateway. The airline's fleet composition reflects a strategy balancing capacity, range, and operational efficiency for serving both leisure and business markets across its network.
