PAL Cancels over 200 Flights Due to APEC Manila

Philippine Airlines, Incorporated (PAL) on Saturday, October 31, announced 115 domestic and 96 international cancelled flights from November 15 to November 20 to give way to the arrival and departure of Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) leaders.

November 16 to 18 - APEC CEO Summit

Thus, periodic, temporary runway closures will be scheduled at the Ninoy Aquino International Airport (NAIA) during the arrival and departure of heads of state.

PAL assured affected passengers that the airline will reschedule their flights, with rebooking and penalty charges waived.

Passengers with confirmed flights have the option to rebook before or within 30 days from their original flight date for as long as the new schedule falls within the ticket validity period.
