A TOTAL of 104 flights at the Ninoy Aquino International Airport (NAIA) were canceled on Saturday, the Manila International Airport Authority (MIAA) announced.

In an advisory, the MIAA said the cancellation was due to operational requirements.

On Friday night, Philippine Airlines (PAL) announced the cancellation of some of its domestic and international flights from January 8 to 16.

The flag carrier said many of its front-line team members have been unable to report for work.

In addition, many of its passengers had to cancel or rebook their tickets as they either tested positive for the coronavirus disease 2019 (Covid-19) or were under precautionary isolation.

Low-cost carrier Cebu Pacific also called off several flights from January 8 to 10, citing the arrival limitation at the NAIA as the reason.

As of Saturday, the following flights were canceled:
