MANILA — The Department of Transportation (DOTr) said Friday it would announce next week the flights that could be affected by the arrival of heads of state and other activities during the 49th ASEAN Summit in Metro Manila on November 16 to 18.

DOTr Secretary Vince Dizon said the announcement is expected by the middle of next week to give passengers advance notice of possible flight disruptions.

“Next week, abangan niyo lang, we will be making announcements on the flights that will be affected by the arrivals of the heads of state and all the activities of ASEAN,” Dizon said.

“I want to assure the general public, lalo na ‘yung mga may flights. Sasabihin namin sa inyo eksakto kung ‘yung mga flights niyo ba eh apektado o hindi,” he added.
