Laoag International Airport is experiencing light rain on the field, and its visual flying regulations (VFR) are still in effect. The airport's infrastructure has suffered minor damage.

Flight operation at Lingayen Airport is suspended due to a flood portion on its Runway 8.

San Fernando Airport's VFR operations have been suspended, as well.

Baguio Airport's VFR operations are also suspended due to a low cloud ceiling and low visibility.
