That's according to the latest guidelines issued by the airline, which said: "no other nationality will be permitted to travel on these flights".

The decision to fly "only Cebuano Overseas Filipino Workers and returning Filipinos" will be on until January 3.

It's based on directives by the local authorities in Philippines. 

The airline also urged passengers to update passport details on the official website in order to avoid disruption to travel.
