‘Normal at Clark’
Two PAL Airbus A319 aircraft from Davao, two Airphil Express A-8s from Masbate and Calbayog, and a Cebu Pacific Airbus A-320 from Thailand were diverted to Clark at 9:05 a.m. because of poor visibility caused by heavy rains.
Since Saturday, the southwest monsoon has been causing massive floods in many parts of Metro Manila, as well as Central and Northern Luzon.
On Sunday, a Qantas Airbus A-380 aircraft from Hong Kong was diverted to Clark Airport due to traffic congestion and lack of parking space at the NAIA.
Clark International Airport Corporation (CIAC) President and CEO Victor Jose I. Luciano said that Clark Airport is ready anytime to accommodate diverted flights as a result of poor visibility and traffic congestions at the NAIA.
“Clark Airport had been accommodating diverted flights, and the airport is always ready of such emergency,” Luciano added.
He said that flight operations at Clark Airport have remained normal since Saturday despite several diverted flights from NAIA, adding that emergency hotlines at Clark Airport are open 24 hours a day.
