No fines for Cebu Pacific over flight cancellations

THE Civil Aeronautics Board (CAB) will not to issue fines against low-budget carrier Cebu Pacific, despite the more than a hundred flight cancellations it made in late April and the massive disruptions these caused, as the concerns of affected passengers were “handled properly.”

A statement from the Department of Transportation (DoTr) said on Wednesday penalties were not slapped on the Gokongwei-led airline after the air-transport regulator found that the concerns of thousands of affected flyers were “handled properly by Cebu Pacific in compliance with the Air Passenger Bill of Rights.”
