ACAP working with gov't agencies to mount more flights to bring locally stranded persons home
The Air Carriers Association of the Philippines (ACAP) and its member airlines are collaborating with government agencies to increase flights for locally stranded individuals (LSIs).
ACAP acknowledges the government's concerns regarding the health risks associated with travelers from Metro Manila.
The association is working with the Department of Transportation, Civil Aeronautics Board, and Manila International Airport Authority to expedite additional flights.
Current flight limitations are due to airlines adhering to the fluid travel restrictions imposed by national and local government units.
Passengers are advised to only go to the airport once their flights are confirmed and to check their booking details for any schedule changes.
