(Passengers to be accommodated on available Manila - Cebu flights)
PR1836 Cebu - Manila
(Passengers to be accommodated on available Cebu - Manila flights)
"Since leisure travelers cannot take these flights, the actual number of passengers per flight decreased. As such, the remaining passengers (essential travelers) can be accommodated on several (other PAL) flights," PAL spokesperson Cielo Villaluna told the Philippine News Agency.
Affected passengers may also avail of the options cited above. (PNA)
