Two aircrafts from the Emirates and Air Niugini were diverted to Mactan-Cebu International Airport (MCIA) after flights at the Ninoy Aquino International Airport (NAIA) were cancelled following the eruption of the Taal Volcano in Batangas this afternoon.
In an advisory posted on its official Facebook page, it said they are now working with the airlines in taking care of the passengers on board the said flights.
“We have been working with the respective airlines on disembarking the passengers to the airport departure lounges where necessary or otherwise provide onward transfer to hotels,” MCIA said.
All flights for Manila and vice versa were cancelled since 7 p.m. tonight (PH Time) until 11 p.m.
MCIA said they are monitoring the situation for any further cancellations and diversions.
“Our passenger service agents are also coordinating with the different airlines to provide assistance to the affected passengers,” the advisory added.
Prior to going to the aiport, MCIA advised travellers to coordinate with their respective airlines first to confirm their flight schedules.
