With all air navigation and airfield ground lighting systems at the Laguindingan Airport installed and tested, the Department of Transportation and Communications (DOTC) and the Civil Aviation Authority of the Philippines (CAAP) are aiming to begin night landing operations at the Northern Mindanao gateway within this month.
“We are happy to announce that the Laguindingan Airport is now equipped for night landing operations.We hope to activate evening flights by the end of November in order to give the public more flight options as well as to decongest the airport during the day,” remarked DOTC Secretary Jun Abaya.
In line with certain policies and procedures of the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) and CAAP,officials from DOTC and CAAP are conducting a joint inspection from November 4 to 6 for safety purposes in order to double-check on any possible system defects before they are put to use.
CAAP willthen prepare the standard guidelines for arrival and departure procedures,for compliance bythe airlines involved. After this, CAAP and the airlines will organizeflight schedules to ensure orderly operations and to prevent air traffic and terminal congestion.This willkickstart night landing operations at the airport.
