MANILA, Philippines – Cebu Pacific on Wednesday afternoon announced that it has canceled flights 5J 118 and 5J 119 from Manila to Hong Kong and from Hong Kong to Manila, respectively.

The airline said affected passengers will be accommodated on the next available flight Wednesday evening and Thursday. Cebu Pacific earlier announced that its operation at the Ninoy Aquino Internatinal Airport Terminal 3 (NAIA-3) has returned to normal. The airline said maintenance operations on its Airbus and ATR aircraft have been completed and that the two aircraft have been deployed to accommodate passengers.
