They banned all the airlines of the Philippines and not specifically Philippine Airlines. PR has good safety standards and ISO certification. The problem lies within the Philippine Aviation Authorities, after being downgraded from Cat 1 by FAA it's been hit hard by the EU ban.
I hope to see Asia's first Airline fly one day once again in the EU skies as I love their livery, and I have to admit I prefer asian carriers to european because of the difference in service quality!
