Mactan-Cebu airport resumes normal operations after runway repairs

Mactan-Cebu International Airport resumed regular flight operations on Saturday night following the completion of runway repairs.

‘’We would like to inform the public that immediate repair works on the primary runway have been successfully completed as of 7:30 p.m., and that the runway is now fully operational,’’ the MCIA said in an advisory.

‘’Flight operations have resumed, and all airport activities are back to normal,’’ it added.

Several flights had been canceled or delayed by the temporary closure of the runway on Saturday due to damaged pavement.

The Mactan-Cebu airport, which handled 11.3 million passengers last year, is the second busiest gateway in the country after Ninoy Aquino International Airport. —VBL, GMA Integrated News
