Some airports affected by 'Kristine'

Tropical storm Kristine (international name Trami) has affected the operation of some airports, according to the Civil Aviation Authority of the Philippines (CAAP) on Wednesday.

CAAP said despite the Bicol Internal Airport (BIA) remaining operational, both Cebu Pacific and Philippine Airlines personnel are unable to report for duty because of the inaccessible roads leading to the airport.

This is because the airport might house flying assets for rescue and relief efforts, which led to the cancellation of all commercial flights.

Following are the canceled flights:

• DG 6193/6194 (Manila-Daraga-Manila)

• 5J 323/324 (Manila-Daraga-Manila)

• 5J 172/173 (Cebu-Daraga-Cebu)

All aviation training flights were canceled at Iba Airport as of 9:00 am. because of the gloomy sky, light to moderate rain, and wind. At Lubang Airport, aviation training was also canceled because of a typhoon warning, a dark sky, moderate winds, and light rain.
