By J.Lo

“All systems are now operational and we plan to operate our normal flight schedules as we advise passengers with confirmed bookings to continue monitoring status of their flights,” Cebu Pacific corporate communications director Carmina Romero said systems have been restored and no stranded passengers remain at Ninoy Aquino International Airport (NAIA) Terminal 3 following global IT systems outage affected airlines and banks since July 19.

AirAsia Philippines head of communications and public affairs and first officer Steve Dailisan said as of Saturday, all their systems are back online.
“We ask for patience among our guests as we recover from multiple delays and cancellations as result of global IT outage since Friday that is beyond our control, as airline guest-obsessed, AirAsia team continues to work tirelessly to minimize disruptions and ensure our passengers stay well informed and adequately taken care of, ” he said.
