MANILA, Philippines – A general strike by pro-democracy protesters in Hong Kong on Monday, August 5, led to the cancellation or postponement of more than 100 flights at the Hong Kong International Airport.
These include several flights to and from Manila.

PAL canceled these flights:
- PR 306 Manila-Hong Kong
- PR 307 Hong Kong-Manila
- PR 318 Manila-Hong Kong
- PR 319 Hong Kong-Manila
PAL said affected passengers can be accommodated on flights on Tuesday, August 6. They can also rebook or refund within the next 30 days with corresponding fees waived.
“Passengers may check the status of their flights by visiting the flight status page of www.philippineairlines.com or by calling PAL hotline (+63)(2) 855-8888,” the flag carrier added.
Cebu Pacific
Cebu Pacific canceled these flights:
