Due to the Middle East conflict and the current fuel supply situation, Philippine Airlines announced the suspension of several domestic and international flights from Clark and Cebu this summer.
In a Facebook post on March 26, the Philippine flag carrier announced flights on the Cebu-Guam (PR120/PR121) will be suspended from April 16. Except for May 1,3,24, and 31, flights on the Cebu-Ho Chi Minh City (PR587/PR588) route will be suspended from April 19. Both routes will be suspended until further notice.
Three domestic routes will also be suspended in May, also until further notice:
Clark-Siargao (PR2875/PR2876): From May 4
Cebu-Ozamiz (PR2893/PR2894): From May 5
Cebu-Calbayog (PR2668/PR2669): From May 6
These flight suspensions are in addition to the previously suspended flights from Manila to Riyadh (until March 31) and both Dubai and Riyadh (April 30).
According to the airline, affected customers have been advised on their rebooking, refund, and the option to convert their bookings into travel credits. Philippine Airlines is also working with logistics partners to explore alternative routing options to support the continued movement of goods.
Philippine Airlines' notice follows Cebu Pacific's announcement of its own series of flight frequency reductions and the suspension of international flights from Iloilo and Davao to Bangkok Don Mueang, Iloilo-Singapore, and the Clark-Hanoi route during the upcoming summer season.
The airline stated in a previous advisory regarding its jet fuel supply on March 25 that it has secured sufficient jet fuel supply to support scheduled operations, including long-haul flights for the foreseeable future.
