From the beginning of August Philippine Airlines is reverting back to A333s for its SYD flights. I wonder if this is an indication that the operation with narrow bodied A321s for a little over 12 months has not been competitive with the wide bodied A330s flown on this route by QANTAS and Cebu Pacific.
The item from Routes Online appears hereunder:
