The global supply issues cited by airlines as a major reason for cancellations and flight delays will not automatically exonerate air carriers from accountability, Civil Aeronautics Board Executive Director Carmelo Arcilla said Friday.

“Kahit na pagpalagay natin na ang pangyayari ay tinatawag na force majeure at hindi naman gusto at inaasahan ng airline ang sabi ko hindi kahulugan nito na ang airline ay off the hook,” Arcilla said in a televised public briefing.

Arcilla added that it was the task of the airline to exhaust all means to prevent or minimize the inconvenience and suffering of the riding public. Both airlines said engine and supply chain issues were the main problems that affected their operations.While other airlines have yet to respond, PAL Spokesperson Ma. Cielo Villaluna said, “We welcome any move by the CAB to validate the reports of air carriers in line with their regulatory authority, and we will cooperate fully with this process."
