The Civil Aviation Authority of the Philippines (CAAP), through Notice to Airmen (NOTAM) B0950/24, announced the closure of the sole runway of the Davao International Airport from April 8 until June 1.
The closure, according to the NOTAM, will be in effect from 12:00 AM to 4:00 AM every day for almost two months, to give way for repair of the asphalt overlay on the airport’s Runway 05/23.
In response to the closure, Philippine Airlines (PAL) on Sunday announced the retiming of four Manila-Davao and Davao-Manila flights until June.
Based on PAL’s travel advisory, the following flights are rescheduled:
