By Richa Noriega

The Philippine Airlines (PAL) announced on Friday that all domestic and international flights are canceled until May 15 due to the extension of enhanced community quarantine (ECQ) in Metro Manila and other high-risk areas.

“We intend to resume flying by May 16, 2020, if allowed by government authorities, global public health conditions, and the travel environment,” PAL said in an advisory.

The local airline said it will announce the list of operating flights and routes once finalized.

PAL assured passengers on canceled flights that their tickets will remain valid.

“We’ve enhanced our policies to give you more flexibility due to the evolving COVID-19 situation,” it added.
