All domestic and international commercial flights are indefinitely canceled while the enhanced community quarantine in Luzon and across the country lasts. But Cebu Pacific is continuously operating its all-cargo flights to facilitate the transport of food, medicines, and vital supplies across the archipelago.
This is the budget carrier’s way to participate in the prevailing spirit of BayaniJuan amid the Covid-19 pandemic. Logically, the aviation industry plays an important role in keeping the movement of humanitarian assistance fast and reliable during times of crisis like this.
