In this article (5)
Cebu Pacific has resumed its regular flights between Cebu and Ormoc after the Ormoc Airport passed a risk assessment by aviation authorities.
“Cebu Pacific Air, through its wholly-owned subsidiary Cebgo, resumes regular flights to and from Ormoc City, starting July 14, 2017. Cebgo flies daily between Cebu and Ormoc, with the Cebu-Ormoc flight departing at 6:35am; and the return flight leaving Ormoc at 7:40am,” the airline posted on its website on Friday.
The risk assessment was performed in cooperation with the Civil Aviation Authority of the Philippines (CAP), after the 6.5-magnitude quake rocked Leyte last July 6.
Passengers booked on cancelled Cebgo flights from July 6 to 13 may rebook their flights free of charge, the company said.
Operations at the Ormoc Airport returned to normal two days after the quake. Cebu Pacific, however, said it had to perform its own risk assessment to ensure operational requirements would be met.
