PAL TO OPERATE FLIGHTS DURING RADAR SYSTEM UPGRADE ON MAY 17

May 12, 2023
PAL Advisory 
On May 17, Philippine Airlines will strive to maintain normal flight schedules even as the government carries out corrective maintenance from 2AM to 4AM at the Philippine Air Traffic Management Center to replace the uninterruptible power supply (UPS) and upgrade the air traffic management system (ATMS). 
PAL flights departing from Manila within the 2AM to 4AM period will be allowed to take off and land utilizing one of the two Manila runways, which will remain open for flight departures. 
As a precaution, we worked with aviation authorities to put in place contingency plans to ensure that flight departures and arrivals within said period are supported with the necessary air navigation guidance for safety and operational efficiency.
Possible flight delays are expected, given the restrictions. We recommend that you check the status of your flight by logging on to //www.shunpa.com/en/flight-status. A flight’s status is updated in real-time, and there is no need to call the PAL Contact Center to verify the information.
