Manila: Flag carrier Philippine Airlines (PAL) is deferring the scheduled launch of its flight to India due to growing passenger concerns over the India-Pakistan border tension.
In an advisory, PAL said it is temporarily suspending the launch of its Manila-New Delhi-Manila service until further notice.
“We are constrained to take this step as news of India-Pakistan border tensions has prompted many travelers to cancel bookings and defer their travel plans,” the airline said.
PAL announced last year that it is reviving its flights to India within the first quarter of 2019, nearly six years since it decided to stop flying in the Asian destination.
PAL was originally eyeing to operate four times weekly nonstop flights between Manila and New Delhi beginning March 31, 2019.
