RUNWAY repairs at the Pagadian Airport beginning next month will force flag carrier Philippine Airlines (PAL) to reroute its regular flights between Manila and Pagadian City in the Zamboanga Peninsula to Dipolog City in Zamboanga del Norte province.

Recently, the Civil Aviation Authority of the Philippines announced that the Pagadian Airport will be closed from April 15 to May 15 for repairs “crucial to ensure safe flight operations.”

On Tuesday, PAL said “Dipolog will serve as an alternate gateway for passengers traveling to and from the Pagadian area.” — Ashley Erika O. Jose
