More than 100 domestic flights of two major airline companies in the country were cancelled as “Uwan” developed into a super typhoon and now starting to unleash heavy rains and strong winds in most parts of Luzon and the Visayas.
The flight cancellations include over 25 domestic flights of the Philippine Airlines and over 85 domestic flights of the Cebu Pacific for Sunday, Nov. 9 and Monday, Nov. 10.
The Manila International Airport Authority (MIAA) said the flight cancellation is part of the goal of the two airline companies to ensure the safety of their passengers amid the threat of Uwan.
In its advisory, PAL said the flight cancellation was due to the proximity and forecasted impact of Typhoon Uwan (international name: Fung-Wong) on parts of Luzon and Visayas.
“We advise you not to proceed to the airport if your flight is canceled,” PAL said in a statement.
PAL also gave its clients the option to either rebook their flights or make a refund.

The Cebu Pacific Air, for its part, said the flight cancellations were due to the anticipated impact of Uwan, adding that further flight changes may take place as the storm passes.
