TACLOBAN DZR AIRPORT TO RESUME NORMAL OPERATIONS AFTER RUNWAY UPGRADE
The Tacloban Daniel Z. Romualdez Airport will return to regular operations this week, following the early completion of the asphalt overlay project, the Civil Aviation Authority of the Philippines (CAAP) announced.
This news was revealed by CAAP Area 8 Manager Danilo Abareta in a press conference organized by the Philippine Information Agency.
The runway upgrade, initially slated to be completed in two months, was finished ahead of schedule. In his explanation, Abareta said that they expedited the overlay works due to the upcoming fiesta celebration in Tacloban City. The hot weather also significantly contributed to the quick completion of the runway.
With the project now done, the airport will issue a Notice to Airmen (NOTAM) informing airline companies that DZR airport will return to its previous operating hours, from the limited 6:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. to a more accommodating schedule of 4:30 a.m. to 8:30 p.m. This longer operating schedule will boost the number of daily flights from 19 to potentially over 21.
To recall, CAAP 8 issued a NOTAM on April 24, 2024, enforcing a 12-hour operational window for DZR Airport—from 6:00 a.m. until 6:00 p.m.—effective from May 2 to August 2 this year.
