Hong Kong Bound Philippines Airlines Flight Delayed Due To 'Security Concern’
MANILA, July 2 (Bernama-PNA) -- A Philippine Airlines (PAL) flight bound for Hong Kong got delayed for almost six hours on Thursday due to a "security concern,” the Philippine News Agency (PNA) reported.
Flight PR300, scheduled to depart from Ninoy Aquino International Airport at 7:45 am, was temporarily held to allow the aircraft and baggage to undergo a thorough inspection in coordination with relevant authorities.
Although the "security concern" was not specified, PAL Vice President for Communications Anne Tiongco told PNA that it was neither a bomb joke nor a bomb threat.
The flight departed at 1:51 pm, Tiongco added.
Meanwhile, in a statement, PAL said the safety and security of passengers remain its top priority.
Passengers were assisted, and PAL expressed appreciation for their cooperation during the security procedure.
