    The hijacking of Flight Fokker "Friendship" PIC-536 is an example of force majeure. Force majeure refers to uncontrollable events that make it impossible to fulfill obligations, such as hijackings. Philippine Airlines is exempt from liability for the hijacking under Article 1163 because hijackings demonstrate an unstoppable force beyond an airline's control, and Philippine Airlines met its obligations to transport passengers safely and did not violate hijacking prevention procedures.

    Question: Is the incident onboard the airplane Flight Fokker “Friendship” PIC-536 considered force

    majeure, which exempts Philippine Airlines from liability? Support your answer.

    Yes, the hijacking in question is an example of force majeure. A bold display of force and

    aggression is not how hijackers enter an aircraft. When the passenger plane is flying in the direction of the

    Himalayas and ill-advised heroic actions by either crew or passengers would send the multimillion-peso

    aircraft and the valuable lives of all its occupants into some of these death and misery, this is when

    modern hijackers hope to demonstrate the unstoppable force amounting to force majeure.

    Philippine Airlines is immune from liability under Article 1163, which states that anyone who is

    obligated to give something is also obligated to look after it. with the diligence appropriate to a good

    father of a family, unless the law or the parties' agreement requires a different standard of care. In short,

    because they are public transportation, even if they do not have a contract with the passengers, they are

    still required to meet certain requirements, including safely transporting their passengers to their

    destinations. the fact that the evidence failed indicates a lack of diligence on the part of Philippine

    Airlines.

    In other words, it hasn’t violated applicable regulations or universally accepted and followed

    hijacking prevention procedures, taking into account the facts of the case.
