Delta Air Lines has submitted a filing to the Department of Transportation (DOT) regarding Philippine Airlines' request to fly to Chicago.

The airline will use Airbus A350-900 aircraft for this route. This follows earlier internal reports from late 2025 suggesting Delta was eyeing Manila and Singapore.
