Operations at General Santos Airport were temporarily suspended on Monday following the magnitude 7.8 earthquake that struck Sarangani and the tsunami warning issued in its aftermath, the Civil Aviation Authority of the Philippines (CAAP) said.
In a statement, CAAP said a Notice to Airmen (NOTAM) remains in effect from 8:45 a.m. to 3 p.m.
“Assessments of air navigation facilities, equipment, and operational capabilities are currently underway to ensure the continued safety and integrity of airport operations,” the aviation regulator said.
CAAP advised passengers to coordinate with their respective airlines for updates on the status of their flights while inspections are being conducted.
