A Philippine Airlines (PAL) flight bound to Manila from Panglao was diverted to Cebu.
This is the same plane which had to return to Bohol-Panglao after encountering a technical problem, according to one of the passengers, Benjie Oliva.
Oliva said that the plane’s small valve opened which caused the plane to return to Panglao airport.
The said plane was allowed to fly at around 1:10 am on May 19, 2022, Oliva said.
He then confirmed to The Bohol Tribune that the plane was diverted and had landed at the Mactan-Cebu International Airport.
He added that airline personnel have not divulged the reason why the plane bound for Manila was diverted to Cebu.
Oliva said the same plane will be used for a flight for South Korea and the United States.
