FAAN had earlier disclosed that a sudden and major rupture in the asphalt surface at a critical point of the runway forced an immediate shutdown for emergency work.
According to the statement, “The work was scheduled to begin on April 22nd and conclude before reopening on May 6th, 2025.
“However, rehabilitation works on the runway have been completed, and the runway is cleared for landings and takeoffs by the engineers working with FAAN.
