CAAP: Domestic flights allowed between GCQ areas

The Civil Aviation Authority of the Philippines (CAAP) announced on Monday that domestic flights will be allowed between areas under general community quarantine (GCQ).

CAAP spokesperson Eric Apolonio stated that airports in GCQ areas can operate, but flights from GCQ to enhanced community quarantine (ECQ) areas are not permitted.

Transportation Secretary Arthur Tugade ordered CAAP and other airport authorities on Saturday to consider reopening airports in GCQ areas for commercial aviation operations amid the COVID-19 pandemic.

Tugade emphasized that this move will help jump-start airline operations and promote domestic tourism.
