CebuPac cancels 2 flights to typhoon-affected areas

Air carrier Cebu Pacific canceled Thursday at least two flights between Manila and areas affected by typhoon "Chedeng" (Songda). In an advisory on its Facebook page, Cebu Pacific said 5J325 (Manila to Legazpi City, Albay) and 5J711 (Manila to Catarman, Samar) were canceled. "Affected passengers will be accommodated on the next available flights," Cebu Pacific said. It advised passengers to stay tuned for more announcements. "We always place top priority in your safety; thank you for your understanding," it said. Bicol and Eastern Visayas are among the most affected by typhoon Chedeng, which state weather forecasters earlier said may not make landfall on Luzon. Last Wednesday, Cebu Pacific also canceled some flights to the affected areas, and diverted two flights to Clark in Pampanga due to bad weather. — LBG, GMA News
