Several domestic flights scheduled to depart today, November 4, from the Ninoy Aquino International Airport (NAIA) have been cancelled. This necessary measure is due to adverse weather conditions currently affecting key destinations in the Visayas and Mindanao regions. The disruption is caused by Typhoon Tino, which carries the international name Kalmaegi.
Authorities and airlines strongly advise all passengers with booked flights to immediately check the status of their reservation. Given the fluid nature of weather systems, flight schedules can change rapidly.
Contact Your Airline Directly: For the most accurate and up-to-date information regarding your specific flight, including rebooking options or possible refunds, you must contact your airline’s customer service channels.
Check Official Channels: Before traveling to the airport, passengers are urged to visit their airline’s official website or social media pages for real-time updates and advisories.
Do Not Proceed to NAIA Without Confirmation: To avoid unnecessary inconvenience and congestion at the terminal, passengers should only proceed to NAIA after confirming their flight status and that the flight is still scheduled for departure.
The decision to cancel flights prioritizes the safety of all passengers and airline crew. Airport management and airlines are closely coordinating with the weather bureau to monitor Typhoon Tino’s path and impact. Efforts are underway to normalize operations as soon as the weather permits safe travel.
“We understand the significant inconvenience these cancellations cause to travel plans,” a spokesperson stated. “We sincerely apologize for the disruption and thank the traveling public for their understanding and cooperation as we prioritize safety during this weather event.”
Stay Informed: Continue monitoring official news outlets and weather advisories for updates on Typhoon Tino (Kalmaegi).
Plan Ahead: Affected passengers should contact their airline now to arrange their next steps.
