it's apec.
is this problem unique to cebupac, or is it "universal" among all the carriers affected by apec?

boycott cebupac?
that will not happen. not as long as it offers cheap seats.
by now, it should be common knowledge that cheap seats do not always come ... cheap. and one has to be a willing gambler, to fly cebupac.

Cebupac should have informed all passengers affected in the cancelled flights beforehand. And dapat inayos din nila yung web checkin system nila. Automatic pa rin nagsesend ng email that you may checkin online kahit na cancelled na yung flight. Just like what happened to a passenger of cebuoac recently circulating in fb, yung cancelled flight din from boracay na nakapag checkin na online.

it's their systemic incompetence that they should be made to pay.

anyhow, there is no cebu pacific airlines listed in the SEC. it conducts business under that name and style only. so, if you file a complaint against it, do not use "cebu pacific airlines" as defendant, RATHER file a case against:

Cebu Air, Inc., Airlines Operations Center, Domestic Road, Pasay Rd., MM

And/or

Cebu Air, Inc., 2/F Doña Juanita Marquez - Limited Bldg., Osmeña Blvd., Cebu

Fortun will win this case, hopefully this will serve as basis for future lawsuits against these airlines.

I wonder how much legal fees Atty Fortun asks. Some books/novels circa 2000 say 500usd/hr.

If only we can sue the yellow tards for economic sabotage... How many billions loss just to make this goverment look good.

Airlines suffer $2-B losses from APEC
Philippine StarBy By Rudy Santos | Philippine Star – 11 hours ago


Local and foreign airlines, including private aircraft and chartered planes, lost an estimated $2 billion in revenues following the cancelation of over 1,000 flights at the Ninoy Aquino International Airport (NAIA) for the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) summit from Nov. 16 to 20.

An airline industry expert said the most affected were the budget airlines.

The expert said that most of the airlines are covered by insurance but the low-cost carriers are the hardest hit by the cancellations as they could not rebook their passengers immediately nor book them in hotels.

Philippine Airlines spokesperson Cielo Villaluna said the airliner lost an estimated $18.7 million. PAL’s gross revenue per day is $7.5 million.

PAL operates some 260 domestic and international flights daily and the close to 700 cancelled flights are equivalent to two and a half days of operation, Villaluna added.

“We must stress, however, that the long term benefits of APEC outweigh these aforementioned losses,” Villaluna added.

Cebu Pacific (CEB), through its corporate communications unit, said the airline lost an estimated P400 million in revenues due to flight cancellations during the APEC summit.

“CEB is expecting more changes in flight schedules within the week, as this figure may still change,” the firm said.

Local airline companies cancelled some 1,800 domestic and international flights from Nov. 16 to 20 following the temporary runway closures to give way to the arrival and departure of leaders of APEC member-economies.

Air Asia Philippines said it cancelled 74 domestic and 10 international flights from Nov. 17 to 20 due to temporary closure of the NAIA runway.

Other international airlines also cancelled various flights or re-scheduled their departure and arrivals.

Airport observers said that the cancellation of flights from Manila to other places in the country had affected tourist arrivals in the provinces.

Observers also said that establishments in the vicinity of the NAIA terminals and the Philippine International Convention Center (PICC) and the routes where convoys of APEC delegates would pass were turned into no-drive zones as private motorists and ordinary citizens were barred, leaving many stranded in heavy traffic caused by the road closure and re-routing.

With commercial flights restricted at the NAIA, Cebu Pacific and Qatar Airways diverted yesterday some flights to Clark International Airport in Pampanga.

The Clark International Airport Corp. (CIAC) said Cebu Pacific AirBus A-320 from Dubai with flight number 5J-7945 landed in Clark while Qatar Airways Boieng-777 aircraft arrived at 10 p.m. Tuesday.

Cebu Pacific flights from Singapore wre also diverted to Clark.

Clark airport operations manager Ding Aranas said that despite these developments, regular flights of other airlines at Clark airport would go on uninterrupted.

These include regular domestic and international flights of Qatar Airways, Asiana Airlines, Dragonair, Jin Air, CebGo, Cebu Pacific, Tiger Air Singapore and Air Asia Berhad.

Aranas said Cebu Pacific had also diverted domestic flights from NAIA to Clark that were bound for Davao, Dumaguete, Kalibo, Tagbilaran and Puerto Princesa.

CIAC president and CEO Emigdio Tanjuatco III said Clark airport is prepared to accommodate aircraft at the terminal’s two runways.

Meanwhile, the Media Affairs Office of the Manila International Airport Authority (MIAA) said that passengers with flights to catch this week at NAIA can ride on airport shuttle buses that were deployed to ferry them to their respective terminals by passing through the airside route or service road around the tarmac.

Passengers are advised to go to designated areas at NAIA and take the shuttle bus from there to be ferried to any of the four terminals.

The waiting areas are: arrival curbside at NAIA terminal 1 and terminal 2, and bus gate 115 at terminal 3 for transfer passengers.

Only those with flight bookings will be allowed to board the bus even as help desks are in place to assist passengers. - With Ding Cervantes, Louella Desiderio

yung kasabay namin sa legoland kanina 18 sila sa group. they are suppose to go home tonight and they only found out 2 days ago that their return flight was cancelled. they are rebooked for saturday and sunday. they need to pay 2-3 extra hotel days. naghihimutok, bwisit daw na apec hehehe!

their tickets were booked 2 months ago but cebpac only informed them of the cancellation of the return leg when they checked in. ogags talaga.

OT. pangit legoland malaysia. don't bother, waste of money. for P2500 per pax there are a lot better options elsewhere.

I see him sometimes in the Church in BF Almanza. I heard he is a very active parishioner there. He is actually a very nice fella. Just put yourself in his shoes. He is very, very pissed. Cebu Pacific could've made the announcement in their webpage about the situation in Manila, for one. & I have never heard of a Filipino airline booking passengers in hotels.

[cast_no_shadow]

Yep anyone experienced being booked in a hotel by a LOCAL carrier due to delayed/cancelled flights?

never had. even if i had, i never would. i'd engage a competent one to handle it. you'd lose your objectivity. you wouldn't see the case in the eyes of the judge. you become personally involve and that is dangerous to your case.

BTT

we had a korean client who filed a case against cebu pacific. that's why i know there's no cebu pacific listed in the SEC. part of their ploy.
it is important to know the exact name and address of the company and its representative because the court process server or sheriff would not be hard put to look for it during the service of summons. if the summons is not properly served, the court will not acquire jurisdiction over the defendant. if the court does not acquire jurisdiction over the defendant, any decision against the latter will be void.

i heard from the grapevine that his practice is not that prolific anymore unlike his older brother sigfrid's. anyhow, he is a very competent advocate. he cross-examined the former cpnp during erap's impeachment pretty well.

Its fine for kids, but definitely not for adults. Its freaking hot and theres nothing else nearby to see. If youre a foodie, maybe you'll enjoy the nearby food establishments but then its not the safest place to roam around for tourist.
