CAAP also reported that AirSwift suspended two flights in El Nido, Palawan to and from Busuanga on Sunday. At least 700 passengers were affected by these flight cancellations.

Super Typhoon ‘Nando’ is anticipated to make landfall in Batanes or the Babuyan Islands on Monday, September 22, and is expected to exit the Philippine area of responsibility by Tuesday morning.
As part of CAAP’s standard operating procedures, Basco Airport personnel have commenced the installation of typhoon shutters across critical areas of the terminal and other vulnerable infrastructure.
These measures aim to secure all essential airport areas, particularly glass panels, doors, and windows.
CAAP remains in constant coordination with PAGASA and other relevant agencies to monitor the development of the typhoon. The agency also continues to collaborate with local government units and disaster risk reduction offices to ensure that all aviation facilities are storm-ready.
