The airport will use parts of the passenger terminal building that were not damaged by Typhoon Tisoy as temporary arrival and pre-departure areas.

It will also deploy personnel to assist passengers to reach their assigned check-in and pre-departure areas.

Albay was among the badly-hit areas by Typhoon Tisoy when it made landfall in Sorsogon late Monday night, as it experienced around six hours of continuous rains and strong winds. —KBK, GMA News
