Philippine Airlines Cancels Flights Due to Staff Shortage from COVID-19

Philippine Airlines (PAL) has canceled several domestic and international flights due to a shortage of staff caused by an increase in COVID-19 cases among its employees. The cancellations are affecting both ground staff and cabin crew who have either tested positive for the virus or are in precautionary quarantine after being exposed to someone with the virus. This situation is leading PAL to declare 'force majeure' on some of their flights as they try to maintain service while ensuring safety for their employees and passengers.
