PAL previously canceled multiple flights to Middle East cities Doha, Dubai and Riyadh, due to the Iran-Israel conflict that is choking air and sea corridors.

In an earlier advisory, PAL canceled Flight PR 684, scheduled yesterday, from Manila bound for Doha due to the developing situation in the Middle East.

Moreover, PAL previously called off the return flight, PR 685, slated for today, following retaliatory attacks from Iran on the AI Udeid airbase in Qatar.

Likewise, PAL canceled Flight PR 658, bound for Dubai, and its return trip PR 659. The airline also grounded Flight PR 654, destined for Riyadh, and its return service PR 655.
