CAAP airports ready for commercial flights
All 41 Civil Aviation Authority of the Philippines (CAAP)-operated airports are ready to accommodate commercial flights, pending approval from local government units (LGUs).
Resumption of flights requires coordination among airlines, LGUs, and the Inter-Agency Task Force (IATF) on Emerging Infectious Diseases, with flights allowed between areas under general community quarantine.
Each LGU has different requirements for passengers, which may include health certificates and travel authority from local police.
While 18 CAAP-operated airports are currently accepting commercial flights, with two more set to resume on June 16, seventeen other airports are not yet allowing operations.
Seven additional airports are scheduled to resume commercial flights between July 1 and September 1.
CAAP airports are implementing "new normal" protocols such as foot baths, thermal screening, and use of personal protective equipment by front-liners.
