CEB ADVISORY
As of June 4, 2013
Cebu Pacific Air (CEB) continues to work with the Civil Aviation Authority of the Philippines Accident Investigation Unit for the removal of its aircraft from the Davao Airport runway.
A team, composed of engineering and maintenance personnel and experts from Singapore Airlines Engineering Company, has been working on the aircraft’s extraction since yesterday. A team from Airbus is also on its way to Davao at the moment to assist in the process.
The latest reports from the team on site indicate that:
1. The nose landing gear has been lifted from the ground and secured on a flatbed truck.
2. Steel plates had been placed under the main (rear) landing gear.
These measures are international practices and should enable us to tow the aircraft so runway operations can resume.
We have arranged for 15 extra flights to General Santos to re-accommodate affected passengers. Aside from this, they have other options like rebooking, full refund and full travel fund. Meals, transfers and hotel accommodations are also provided. Those who still need re-accommodation may call (02)7020-888 or (032)230-8888.
