THE second-biggest airport in the philippines has been closed after a Korean Air Lines plane overshot the runway when trying to land in bad weather, reports Bloomberg.
But the runway will operate partially until November 8, as authorities continued to work on the extraction of the aircraft, reports the Philippine News Agency.
In an advisory, the Civil Aviation Authority of the Philippines (CP) said the runway will be operational for all types of aircraft from 5am to 4:59pm from October 25.
While no one was injured in the incident and the 162 passengers were safely evacuated, the runway at the Mactan-Cebu International Airport has been closed to allow the badly damaged Airbus SE A330-300 aircraft to be removed.
All international and domestic flights have been cancelled, the airport said in a statement.
The flight, KE631, took off from Seoul's Incheon Airport on Sunday. Data from Flightradar24, which tracks air traffic, showed the plane circling the airport several times. It tried to land twice, before overshooting the runway on the third attempt.
