"Tino" has caused only minimal damage to airports in Visayas, according to the Civil Aviation Authority of the Philippines (CAAP).
In a statement Wednesday, November 5, the CAAP said based on the initial situational reports, several airports under its supervision experienced minor structural impacts, but no major infrastructure damage or aviation-related incidents were reported.
San Vicente Airport's Airport Rescue and Firefighting (ARFF) station in Palawan was inundated by floodwaters.
Borongan Airport's terminal building roof sustained minor damage, while Hilongos Airport's glass door and ceiling in its pre-departure area entrances are broken.
Guiuan Airport, on the other hand, experienced a minor gutter and roofing issue.
"We have already deployed our personnel on the ground to assess any damaged facilities and ensure immediate repair actions. We are also closely coordinating with our area managers for timely updates and swift response," CAAP Director General Raul del Rosario said.
The CAAP worked closely with local government units and partner agencies to ensure the safety and security of all passengers.
