DOTr to probe Mactan Cebu Int’l Airport runway issue
The Department of Transportation (DOTr) is investigating a runway issue at the Mactan-Cebu International Airport (MCIA) that caused flight disruptions.
DOTr Secretary Vince Dizon stated that the department needs to determine why the asphalt on the runway peeled off, and that the quality of the last repair and materials used will be examined.
The asphalt was last repaired between 2018 and 2020.
While the asphalt damage was not extensive, Secretary Dizon emphasized that safety is paramount for aircraft.
Airport operations resumed on the secondary runway by 6 p.m. and the primary runway became operational by 7:30 p.m. on Saturday.
MCIA confirmed that flight operations have resumed and all airport activities are back to normal.
