In line with the government’s travel ban on South Korea, Cebu Pacific will cancel its flights to the East Asian country from March 3 to April 30.
Cebu Pacific announced Friday that the following flights will be canceled:
5J 188/ 5J 187 Manila-Incheon-Manila
5J 128 / 5J 129 Cebu-Incheon-Cebu
5J 180 / 5J 181 Kalibo-Incheon-Kalibo
The airline has advised affected passengers to rebook flights to February 29, March 1, or March 2 depending on seat availability, rebook a new flight until June 30, or refund the tickets in full. Passengers can also store the ticket value in a travel fund for future use.
The Bureau of Immigration has implemented the ban on passengers with a recent history of travel from the coronavirus-hit province of North Gyeongsang in South Korea. The infection began in Its capital Daegu City. This was based on the decision of the Inter-Agency Task Force for the Management of Emerging Infectious Diseases.
Meanwhile, exempted from the travel ban to Korea are overseas Filipino workers, permanent residents in Korea, and students.
South Korea has confirmed 571 additional cases of the novel coronavirus Friday, according to the South Korean Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
This brings the national total to 2,337 cases, with 13 deaths. South Korea has recorded the largest virus outbreak outside mainland China.
