Metro Manila (CNN Philippines) — Flag carrier Philippine Airlines (PAL) has suspended more domestic and international flights due to an increasing number of COVID-19 cases among its employees.
In an advisory on Thursday, PAL said it has canceled flights scheduled up to Jan. 24, as it is unable to sustain full operations with more frontline and support personnel under quarantine or self-isolation.
It added more trips may be affected in the coming days considering the “very fluid situation.”
The following are the canceled domestic flights:

PAL earlier advised affected passengers to visit its website for options to rebook or reroute their ticket to another trip, convert it to travel credits, or request a refund.
“Our PAL teams do all we can to maintain as many other flights as possible, process all passenger requests and relieve the longer call waiting times and ticket office queues,” PAL said.
“We are also compelled to cancel some international flights to comply with newly reduced limits to the daily number of passenger arrivals allowed at Manila airport by the Philippine government authorities,” the airline said.
“We request your kind understanding as we cope with these temporary challenges,” it added.
New COVID-19 cases and positivity rates in the country have hit unprecedented highs in recent days.
The Department of Health on Tuesday reported that more than three million people across the country have now been confirmed hit by the virus, almost two years into the pandemic.
