MANILA – Low-cost carrier Cebu Pacific canceled 24 domestic and international flights on Wednesday, citing workforce shortage.

"Cebu Pacific continues to manage the impact of Covid-19 (coronavirus disease 2019) on its workforce with employees who are either sick or under home quarantine," it said in an advisory Tuesday night.

The following flights have been canceled:

5J893/894 Manila – Boracay (Caticlan) – Manila
5J905/906 Manila – Boracay (Caticlan) – Manila
5J787/788 Manila – Butuan – Manila

Affected passengers may rebook or refund their tickets, or store the value in a travel fund, until 30 days from the original flight schedule.

The airline said because the situation is still fluid, those with flights until January 23 may also opt to refund their ticket or rebook their flight for travel within 60 days.

They can also store the amount to a travel fund valid for two years. (PNA)
