PAL delaying launch of India flights
Philippine Airlines said it will temporarily suspend its scheduled flight launch to Delhi due to the still simmering tensions in the sub-continent.
The India-Pakistan border tension has left passengers wary, PAL said.
"We are constrained to take this step as news of India-Pakistan border tensions has prompted many travellers to cancel bookings and defer their travel plans," the airline said.
Customers with booked tickets can claim a refund or reroute their tickets to any other regional destination in the PAL network.
"Philippine Airlines apologizes to all affected passengers. We assure to all traveling public that we will make appropriate announcement once a new start date is finalized," it said.
The airline was originally planning to restart India flights in late March but that was pushed back to a planned April start.
PAL last operated scheduled flights to India six years ago.
"Philippine Airlines apologizes to all affected passengers. We assure all traveling public that we will make an appropriate announcement once a new start date is finalized," the airline said.
