Manila Airport to Ease Ban on International Arrivals From Monday

Manila Airport to Ease Ban on International Arrivals From Monday

(Bloomberg) -- Manila’s international airport will allow international charter and commercial flights to resume arriving on designated days, beginning Monday.

Inbound international chartered flights will be permitted to land at Ninoy Aquino International Airport on Mondays and Thursdays, while commercial ones will be allowed on the other days of the week, the civil aviation authority said in a statement. That schedule will last for a month, until June 10.

The Philippines suspended all commercial passenger flights to and from the country on May 3 because of the coronavirus outbreak, while allowing outbound flights to resume the next day. It cited congested quarantine facilities for Filipino workers returning from overseas as the reason for the suspension.
