Cebu Pacific’s flight frequencies between Dubai and Manila will remain the same and will be unaffected by the recent Philippine government’s mandate to limit international arrivals to 1,500 passengers per day from March 18 to April 18, 2021.
Passengers of the Philippines’ largest national flag carrier will continue to fly from Dubai to Manila five times per week, with four return flights weekly from Manila to Dubai.
In order to prevent the spread of new COVID-19 variants in the country, the international inbound arrivals at the Manila’s Ninoy Aquino International Airport (NAIA) will be limited to a maximum of 1,500 passengers from March 18 to April 18, 2021, according to the Philippine Civil Aeronautics Board.
