The Philippine Embassy in Seoul wishes to inform the public that it has arranged a special passenger flight from Incheon to Manila for all Filipino nationals who are currently stranded in South Korea.

The special passenger flight, via Korean Air KE 623, is scheduled to depart Incheon International Airport tomorrow, 07 June 2020, at 6:45pm.

For those who previously registered with the Embassy, kindly call the Korean Air reservations center at their hotline 1588-2001 to rebook your flight tickets.

For those who did not register but wish to join the special flight, you may contact the same hotline to purchase a new ticket or rebook your existing one.

Due to the passenger limit, the reservation of those who did not register with the Embassy will be accommodated on a first come, first served basis.

The Embassy further notes that per information received from Korea Air, their flights scheduled on 15, 18, and 22 June are cancelled. In this regard, we wish to encourage those booked on the said dates to join the special flight to avoid further delay in their departure schedule.
