PAL adjusts nearly 200 flights for ASEAN Summit in Manila

Philippine Airlines has cancelled or rescheduled 182 domestic and international flights to and from Manila between Nov. 14 and 18, ahead of the 49th ASEAN Summit and Related Summits in the capital. The summit runs from Nov. 16 to 18.

PAL said it expects more movements at the airport because of the arrival of delegates. It did not give a total, and its advisory does not say which flights are cancelled and which are rescheduled. (The 182 figure is PortCalls‘ count of the airline’s list as of 3 p.m. on Oct. 30. We counted each flight number separately, so a listed pair such as PR 2121/2122 counts as two flights. – ed.)

By PortCalls‘ count, 28 flights are affected on Nov. 14, 33 on Nov. 15, 47 on Nov. 16, 43 on Nov. 17 and 31 on Nov. 18. Of the total, 150 are domestic and 32 international.

Domestic routes on the list include Davao, Cebu, Bacolod, Iloilo, Cagayan de Oro, Butuan, Zamboanga, General Santos, Legazpi, Tacloban, Puerto Princesa and Dumaguete. Several routes, such as Cagayan de Oro and Iloilo, appear on four or five of the five days.
