Surigao airport to resume operations next week
MANILA, Philippines — The Surigao Airport in Surigao del Norte, which was damaged by Typhoon Odette, is expected to resume operations by next week.
Transportation Secretary Arthur Tugade said airport officials committed a one-week window after he instructed them to expedite rehabilitation works.
The Surigao Airport is currently open only to government, emergency, cargo and humanitarian flights.
“We cannot cry forever. We have to work. We have to bounce back. With this, I instructed airport officials to expedite rehabilitation works to ensure commercial operations in 10 days,” Tugade said.
The Civil Aviation Authority of the Philippines had earlier said many of the airports that were affected by the typhoon are experiencing power outage and telecommunication signal loss.
