THE CIVIL Aviation Authority of the Philippines (CAAP) announced yesterday afternoon the temporary closure of the Daniel Z. Romualdez Airport in Tacloban City for emergency repairs due to the “degradation of runway surface caused by continuous rain in the past weeks.” CAAP issued a Notice to Airmen on the airport’s closure starting 5:30 p.m on Jan. 17, to 9 p.m. today. Cebu Pacific, in a separate statement, said six flights, including those of Cebgo, to and from the Tacloban airport were cancelled and those scheduled today are also expected to be affected.
