All flights from Cauayan Airport to Maconacon Airport, and vice versa, in Isabela have been suspended since Wednesday amid the search and rescue operation for the missing Cessna plane, the Civil Aviation Authority of the Philippines (CAAP) said Thursday.
In a message to GMA News Online, CAAP spokesperson Eric Apolonio said a Notice to Airmen was issued to airline operators, informing them of the suspension of flights in these areas for 24 hours, effective Wednesday afternoon.
The plane departed from Cauayan Airport at 2:15 p.m. on Tuesday and its last contact with the air traffic controller was at 2:19 p.m. when it was within the vicinity of Naguillian Bridge. The plane was expected to arrive at Maconacon at 2:45 p.m. He said two helicopters and two drones have been repositioned and may start the search once the weather normalizes in the area.
