Philippine Airlines took to the air again on Wednesday a day after being paralysed by a wildcat strike, but thousands of passengers remained stranded amid a skeleton flight schedule, the carrier said.
Asia's oldest airline, known as PAL, said it would need several days to get back to normal as outsourced workers replaced the strikers who staged a protest on Tuesday in a last-ditch effort to keep their jobs.
"We're only operating at 35-40 percent of capacity," PAL spokeswoman Cielo Villaluna told AFP.
PAL said another 102 flights had been cancelled on Wednesday, affecting 14,000 passengers.
They include 17 regional flights to such areas as Bangkok, Beijing, and Singapore, as well as Guam, another PAL spokesperson, Jonathan Gesmundo, told AFP.
