Effective March 25, Philippine Airlines (PAL) will suspend its Cebu-Singapore operations, and increase its Cebu-Bangkok flight frequency from thrice a week to daily as part of the flag carrier’s route rationalization plan.
Passengers with confirmed tickets on Cebu-Singapore/Singapore-Cebu flights from March 25 onwards may rebook on Cebu-Manila-Singapore/Singapore-Manila-Cebu flights within 30 days from original flight date, with rebooking penalties/charges waived.
Passengers also have the option to refund the cost of their tickets, also within 30 days from original flight date with refunding charges waived.
“The airline is seeking the understanding of its passengers in view of the inconvenience brought about by this latest development on their original travel plans,” PAL said in a travel advisory.
While it is suspending its Cebu-Singapore flights, PAL on March 25 will start daily operations between Cebu and Bangkok, the flight that started only late last year. PR738 will depart Cebu daily and arrive in Bangkok the following day. PR739 will leave Bangkok daily at 1:30 a.m. (local time) and touch down in Cebu at 6:30 a.m.
PAL on January 1, 2018 stopped its Kalibo-Guangzhou-Kalibo flights as part of its flight network restructuring in the region. PAL, however, will be mounting additional Manila-Guangzhou and Guangzhou-Manila flights every Saturday effective February 1, 2018.
“In consideration of the current market conditions, this additional Manila-Guangzhou operation will ensure that efficient air transport services are continuously provided between points in the Philippines and Guangzhou,” PAL said.
The flag carrier added that it will continue expanding services linking different cities in China, including Beijing, Shanghai, Quanzhou (Jinjiang), Chengdu, Xiamen and Guangzhou, with various Philippine destinations in its ongoing bid to stimulate greater tourist and business travel between the Philippines and China.
We are currently notifying affected passengers on the Kalibo-Guangzhou and vice versa flights.
