This is all so ridiculous! Because of these caps and quarantine regulations, we haven't been able to see our family for more than two years now. And plans for May 2022 are also put on hold as the situation isn't likely to improve for another year. Regarding KLM pulling out of MNL: it's not very likely. It surely is an operational nightmare in these times but the flight will probably remain although not daily. A non-stop however is out of the play due to the mentioned tax situation - which is another ridiculous thing. In the early 2000s I used to fly AF CDG-MNL non-stop with the A343. AF gave that up with the merger with KL.
