The maintenance work commenced on April 4 and is scheduled to continue until May 3. To minimize disruptions to flight schedules, the CAA has strategically planned the maintenance activities during specific hours on weekdays, from Monday to Friday.

The runway closure schedule is as follows:

• Mondays: 9 a.m. to 11:30 a.m.
• Tuesdays: 8 a.m. to 12:30 p.m.
• Wednesdays: 9 a.m. to 12:30 p.m.
• Thursdays: 7:30 a.m. to 10 a.m.
• Fridays: 9 a.m. to 11:30 a.m.

Notably, weekends will be free from maintenance activities, with no work planned on Saturdays and Sundays.

Despite the temporary closure of the main runway during these designated hours, flight operations will continue as usual. Flights will be redirected to the secondary runway, ensuring uninterrupted travel schedules for passengers.
