MANILA - Philippine Airlines said Wednesday it would expand domestic flight offerings in the coming days after Metro Manila was placed back to general community quarantine.

As of Aug. 19, the flag carrier operates 15 percent of its total daily flight capacity or 50 flights out of the usual 280 to 300 flights per day, spokesperson Cielo Villaluna told Teleradyo.

"Since we are on GCQ, sa araw na ito meron nang flights (we have flights)… Before Aug. 19 we already anticipated the declaration that’s why we opened this destination but again, only for essential travelers," Villaluna said.

President Rodrigo Duterte on Monday downgraded the quarantine restrictions in the National Capital Region, lifting the suspension of public transport including air travel.
