Flight disruptions as a result of the maintenance activity on the air traffic management system scheduled for May 17 will only be minimal, the Civil Aviation Authority of the Philippines (CAAP) said Wednesday, May 10.
The maintenance activity will now be conducted in a shorter period of time on May 17, from 2 a.m. to 4 a.m., following “careful process reviews and simulations,” the CAAP said.
It was previously announced to take place from 12 a.m. to 6 a.m.
“Despite the temporary airspace closure, the CAAP expects only a minimal number of affected flights at two international gateways and several CAAP-operated airports,” the agency said in a statement.
No flights will be affected at the Mactan-Cebu International Airport (MCIA), while at Clark International Airport, four regional flights will be affected, CAAP said.

AirAsia Philippines’ six domestic flights are cancelled on May 17, while 12 flights on May 16 and two flights on May 17 have been rescheduled.
The temporary airspace closure aims to replace the defective uninterruptible power supply (UPS) and reconfigure the Air Traffic Management System (ATMS) A/B power supply.
“This will ensure that the CNS/ATMS (Communications, Navigations, Surveillance/Air Traffic Management System) will continue to provide safe and efficient air traffic control operations,” CAAP Deputy Director General for Operations Captain Edgardo Diaz said in a CNN Philippines interview on Wednesday.
