PAL cancels Manila-Saudi flights due to restrictions

Philippine Airlines (PAL) has canceled several flights between Manila and Saudi Arabia (Riyadh and Dammam) from July 9 to July 13 due to restrictions imposed by Saudi authorities.

These cancellations are beyond PAL's control and affect the urgent travel needs of Overseas Filipino Workers (OFWs) and other passengers.

The specific canceled flights include PR 5654 (Manila to Riyadh), PR 5682 (Manila to Dammam), PR 5655 (Riyadh to Manila), and PR 5683 (Dammam to Manila) on various dates within the specified period.

PAL has appealed to Saudi authorities to reconsider the restrictions and sought the support of the Philippine government.

Affected passengers are offered options to rebook flights, convert tickets to travel vouchers, or receive refunds without penalties.

The aviation industry has been severely impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic, leading to various travel restrictions worldwide.
