We advise you to check the status of your flight before proceeding to the airport in Manila.
This advisory was issued by Philippine Airlines (PAL), saying the prevailing weather condition and lighting alerts may result in possible flight delays or interruptions.
PAL spokesperson Cielo Villaluna said airport authorities issue red lightning alerts when isolated thunderstorms occur in the vicinity of Manila’s Ninoy Aquino International Airport (NAIA).
“A red lightning temporarily suspends all ground operations and aircraft movements at the airport, including boarding, disembarkation, aircraft parking, baggage handling and all support activities. This is to ensure the safety of passengers but also of the workers at the airport,” Villaluna added.
