Cebu Pacific (CEB) cancelled its flights to and from Dubai from June 1 to 15, 2021 after the government extended the ban on travelers from the United Arab Emirates.
In a statement Monday night, June 1, the airline said it has informed affected passengers via contact details provided in their bookings.
They can select their preferred option - rebook, store the fare amount in an e-wallet or refund, via the Manage Booking portal on CEB's website up to 30 days from date of departure.
CEB will continue to operate all its other domestic and international flights as scheduled.

In view of the lifting of the restrictions for leisure travel from NCR Plus to areas under Modified General Community Quarantine (MGCQ), AirAsia Philippines likewise announced its operating flights from today, June 2, to 15 2021.
AirAsia flies to Caticlan twice daily, Cebu daily and Bohol, five times weekly.
Under the Inter-Agency Task Force (IATF) Resolution 118-A, leisure travel can now resume from NCR Plus to provinces under MGCQ, subject to travel regulations set by their respective Local Government Units (LGUs) and their local IATF.
“AirAsia knows how much we all miss the beautiful beaches, food and iconic spots of Boracay, Bohol and Cebu among others but please be responsible travelers," cautioned the airline's spokesperson, Steve Dailisan.
"By being responsible, we mean you should adhere to the guidelines set by the LGU’s and submit only legitimate RT-PCR test results. While on summer vacation, be mindful of the safety protocols in each destination to protect yourself and your family.”
AirAsia also expressed its support for increased mobility among vaccinated individuals through a digital passport.
“With the increasing number of inoculated individuals, it is now time to allow more people to ‘move around with lighter restrictions’ while adhering to strict government protocols," he noted.
"Along with our thrust of promoting safe air travel, AirAsia has been pushing for a centralized protocol and the digitization of all travel documents for seamless transactions,” Dailisan concluded.
