MANILA, Philippines — Philippine Airlines (PAL) on Saturday announced the cancellation of flights in the United States due to a major winter storm sweeping across parts of the country, which is forecast to bring heavy snow.

In an advisory from PAL Corporate Communications, the airline confirmed that flight PR126 Manila-New York (Jan. 24, 2026) and PR127 New York-Manila (Jan. 25, 2026) have been canceled.

As of Jan. 24, the massive winter storm continues to impact various regions, prompting the Philippine Embassy to advise Filipino communities in the South, Midwest, and Northeast to limit travel and prepare for extreme conditions.

PAL reminded passengers traveling to or from the United States to check flight status and regularly monitor specific flight for potential delays or further cancellations.

According to the airline, the full duration of these service disruptions remains undetermined as they continue to monitor the weather.
