The Department of Transportation (DOTr) has announced three options for passengers affected by flight adjustments scheduled from November 13 to November 18, 2026, due to the upcoming 2026 ASEAN Summit.
According to the DOTr advisory, affected travelers may choose to rebook their flights with all penalties waived, receive a full refund, or convert the ticket value into a travel fund.
Transportation Secretary Vince Dizon confirmed that President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr. has explicitly instructed both the DOTr and partner airlines to ensure that all alternative options remain seamless, convenient, and hassle-free for the public.
The flight disruptions will impact several commercial carriers, including flag carrier Philippine Airlines, Cebu Pacific, and AirAsia.
The DOTr strongly advises passengers to coordinate directly with their respective airlines to secure their updated flight itineraries. The comprehensive list of affected flights is available on the official DOTr Facebook page.# (RRN)
