PAL monitors US flights amid FAA ground stop

MANILA, Philippines — Philippine Airlines (PAL) said Saturday that its flights already airborne and bound for the United States would be allowed to proceed to their destinations despite air traffic disruptions following a ground stop imposed by the US Federal Aviation Administration (FAA).

In an advisory, the flag carrier said it was closely monitoring the disruption affecting air traffic operations across the United States.

“PAL flights to and from U.S. airports are being monitored on a per-flight basis,” the airline said.
