The Civil Aviation Authority of the Philippines (CAAP) announced on Tuesday, 12th August, that Iloilo International Airport will be undergoing safety enhancement work on its runway.
While work is ongoing, airport operations will be taking a break daily from midnight to 4am.
According to CAAP officials, the schedule was coordinated with airline operators before implementation to ensure that flights remain unaffected.
In a statement, the agency declared: “CAAP extends its sincere appreciation to the flying public for patience and cooperation during the construction period.”
Necessary maintenance
The 45-working-day runway safety enhancement project commenced on Monday, 11th August.
Repair work includes runway edge strip and slope correction, as well as embankment works.
The project also involves the removal of accumulated soil deposits, correction of uneven surfaces within the airside, and filling of low-lying areas to improve drainage and prevent water pooling during heavy rainfall.
These measures are crucial for maintaining runway friction and preventing hydroplaning incidents.
