BIZ BUZZ: PAL, Cebu Pacific cut China flights

Avatar

Philippine Airlines (PAL) and Cebu Pacific are scaling back their operations in China.

Cebu Pacific announced the indefinite suspension of its Manila-Beijing flights by March 30.

The budget airline did not provide a specific reason for doing so in its latest advisory.

However, the Gokongwei-led carrier previously flagged concerns over the travel demand to Beijing.

It has not been operating the route since the pandemic. But it has resumed flights to Guangzhou, Shanghai, Shenzhen and Xiamen.

Meanwhile, PAL said its “decision to reduce flights to China aligns with a broader trend, as the Chinese market has been slower to recover compared to other regions following the pandemic.”
