PAL on full alert vs swine flu

Philippine Airlines is taking all necessary measures to avoid the entry of the swine flu into the country by extending full cooperation with the local health and airport authorities in the U.S and other affected countries. This is to prevent the boarding on any PAL flight of any passenger suspected of being a carrier.

PAL staff in Manila and at all international stations are under strict instructions to be extra vigilant in denying the boarding of any passenger displaying high fever and other symptoms of the swine flu.

PAL will also implement the necessary quarantine procedures should a passenger manifest any symptoms of the flu onboard.

Other measures previously implemented by PAL during the last SARS scare are being revived on all inbound and outbound flights to/from Manila.
