MANILA – Flight delays and cancellations greeted travellers flying into and out of the Philippine capital Manila after a power outage at the country’s air traffic management centre disrupted communication with all airlines.

The Philippines Airlines and Cebu Pacific issued separate advisories on Sunday saying several domestic and international flights will either be delayed or diverted due to the “technical issues” with the navigational air traffic management system. The Civil Aviation Authority Management has apologised to all affected passengers and said it is now addressing the issue.

“The safety of the passengers is the priority of the agency and it is better to secure the aircrafts on the ground to avoid any airborne accidents,” CAAP said.
