A333 RP-C8789 on PR212, the 1145 hours late morning SYD-MNL on Wednesday 4 October was airborne at 1251 so gate arrival is estimated at about 1741 hours, 36 late.
 
PR211 from MNL to SYD overnight was cancelled on Friday 6 January 2023 ex MNL while tonight (7 January), PR209 to MEL is also cancelled.

This may be due to the 1 January 2023 chaos in MNL as the air traffic control system failed, with media suggesting 56000 passengers (at a minimum) were delayed.

An extra, PR5209 is apparently departing MNL at 2330 hours on Monday 9 January.
