The Philippines and the UAE have removed their quarantine measures and eased travel restrictions for fully-vaccinated travelers. Due to certain regulatory restrictions, commercial flights were yet to resume in full and the ones listed by airlines often came up against to last-minute cancellations or reschedules.

Only the ‘Bayanihan’ repatriation flights were operating on the route in the second-half of 2021.

In February, the Philippines lifted a near two-year ban on foreign travelers in a boost for its tourism. Travelers from 157 countries can access with visa-free arrangements to the Philippines, provided they are fully vaccinated and tested negative for the virus.

They no longer are required to quarantine upon arrival. The government also ended a risk classification system that banned travelers from the worst-hit countries.
