Airlines told not to sell tickets yet -- CAB
The Civil Aeronautics Board (CAB) has ordered all airlines to stop selling tickets as they await approval from the Inter-Agency Task Force (IATF) for the resumption of domestic flights in the first week of June.
Airlines are advised to cancel flights scheduled for June 1 and stop ticket sales for that date.
Despite the lack of approval, some local carriers like Philippine Airlines (PAL), AirAsia Philippines, and Cebu Pacific (CEB) had previously announced resumption of flight operations.
The Civil Aviation Authority of the Philippines (CAAP) stated that airlines must comply with IATF and local government unit requirements before flying.
Some passengers proceeded to airport terminals, expecting flights to resume, while it was announced that domestic flights are set to reopen on June 8.
