PAL cancels 8 intl flights due to NAIA arrival slot limits

Philippine Airlines (PAL) canceled eight international flights scheduled for June 10-12 because the airline was not given arrival slots at Ninoy Aquino International Airport (NAIA) due to limited quarantine processing capacity in Manila.

These cancellations include flights to Los Angeles, San Francisco, and Vancouver on June 10, and a flight to New York on June 11, with the return flight from New York canceled on June 12.

PAL is arranging for the flight from Los Angeles (PR103) to arrive in Cebu on June 13 instead of Manila.

Passengers on this flight will undergo COVID-19 testing and quarantine in Cebu, with the cost of hotel accommodation to be shouldered by the passenger.

Upon receiving negative test results, PAL will provide a free flight to Manila for these passengers.

The airline stated that further schedule changes may occur due to evolving travel restrictions and public health measures.
