The new closure follows a chaotic weekend of intermittent closures on Friday and Saturday, that affected 97 international flights. The Civil Aviation Authority ordered the extended shutdown just hours after Sunday’s attempted reopening, citing runway safety concerns.
The airport, which initially reopened Sunday morning following a 48-hour closure, was forced to suspend operations again by 4:00 PM due to heavy rainfall and asphalt deterioration on the runway.
“Recent cancellations prevent us from providing the quality service our commercial partners and passengers are accustomed to,” airport management said in a statement, urging travelers to contact their airlines for rebooking and not to come to the terminal.
