Cebu Pacific (MANILA BULLETIN)
Cebu Pac was advised by Hong Kong airport authorities that their operations will be affected by the general strike on Monday, due to reduced manpower.
The airline may also have prolonged delays or cancellation of flights between Hong Kong and Manila, Clark, Cebu or Iloilo.
In a statement by Cebu Pac, Spokesperson Charo Logarta Lagamon said “In light of this, we strongly advise passengers with flights today to reconsider their travel plans. For tickets booked on or before August 5, 2019, with travel dates on August 5, 6 and 7, 2019 Cebu Pacific will waive all charges for rebooking and refunds. Passengers may message the official Cebu Pacific Air accounts via Facebook or Twitter to make such changes.
As much as possible, we will try our best to operate flights as scheduled. For passengers who do need to travel today until August 7, allot more time and prepare as there may be additional security measures put in place as well as disruptions in public transport.
We will do our best to assist all our passengers. Updated flight information will be posted at https://www.cebupacificair.com/Pages/flight-status. Should it become necessary to cancel flights, affected passengers will be informed via contact details provided upon booking.
We appeal for patience and understanding as we try to manage our operations in Hong Kong amidst the situation that is beyond our control.”
Other airlines also canceled flights to and from Hong Kong due to the General strike.
