MANILA (AFP) – Thousands of travellers were stranded at Philippine airports on Sunday after a “loss of communication” at the country’s busiest hub in Manila forced hundreds of flights to be cancelled, delayed or diverted.

Aviation authorities detected in the morning a “technical issue” involving the air traffic management centre at Manila’s domestic and international airport.
