MANILA - Cebu Pacific Air on Tuesday said it would cancel some 10 flights a day for the month of May out of the total 400 to give way to "operational recovery."

The country's largest airline started canceling flights from April 28 citing damaged aircraft and heavy traffic. Flight adjustments "for June and beyond" are under review it said.

"To create space in its schedule for operational recovery, minimize rolling delays and give passengers the chance to make alternate travel plans, CEB has to temporarily reduce the number of its flights given the current operating conditions, particularly in its Manila hub," Cebu Pacific said.

The country's largest carrier on Monday said it would cancel 58 domestic round trip flights until May 10. It also cancelled 44 flights from April 28 to 29.

Flight cancellations will not have a "significant effect" on business operations and financial, the Gokongwei-led airline said.

Cebu Pacific could be penalized over the flight cancellations if there are any violations, the Civil Aeronautics Board chief legal officer Wyrlou Samodio earlier said.

In an advisory issued 8 p.m. Monday, Cebu Pacific said the following flights were cancelled:
