MIAA: Repair work sa NAIA runway, 'di pa nagdudulot ng traffic congestion

AMANDA FERNANDEZ, GMA NEWS Pinabulaanan ng Manila International Airport Authority ang balitang nagdudulot umano ng traffic congestion ang pagsasara ng maikling bahagi ng runway ng Ninoy Aquino International Airport para sa repair work na isinasagawa doon. Ayon kay MIAA Control Tower Acting Supervisor Carlos Mundo, wala pang apektado na flight sa pagsasara ng pinakadulong bahagi ng NAIA Runway 06 sapagkat ang Runway 24 ang kadalasang ginagamit ngayon ng mga eroplano para sa landing at takeoff mula pa noong Mayo 25. "From May 25, we have been using Runway 24 dahil na rin sa kasalukuyang direksyon ng hangin," ayon sa kanya. Protocol na ng paliparan na gamitin lamang ang runway kung saan salungat ang hangin sa direksyon na pinupuntahan ng eroplano, paliwanag niya. Simula nitong Sabado, isinara ang dulong bahagi ng NAIA Runway 06 para sa kanilang isinasagawang rehabilitasyon ng lightning system ng runway. Magtatagal ang repairs ng isang buwan. Napaulat na may ilang pasahero umanong nagreklamo sa pagkaantala nitong weekend ng kanilang flights ng dalawang oras, kasama na ang paghihintay sa loob ng eroplano bago ang take-off. Runway 06 Samantala, maaari pa rin umanong gamitin ang Runway 06 maliban na lamang sa mga "heavier aircraft tulad ng Boeing 747 at iba pang international airliners," ayon kay Mundo. Ayon naman kay MIAA operations department chief Alvin Candelaria, napaiksi lamang umano ng 3,110 metro ang runway mula sa aktwal na 3,410-metrong haba nito. Iginiit ni Candelaria na kaunting flights lamang ang maapektuhan, aniya, may mga nakatalagang Pushback Tractors upang tumulong na maitulak ang mga eroplano. Dagdag pa niya, kaunti lamang na flights ang apektado sapagkat karamihan sa mga eroplano ay ginagamit ang Runway 24 para sa kanilang landing at takeoff. Maaari din umanong magsagawa ng “intersection takeoff” ang mga piloto simula sa Echo 5 junction ng paliparan, na katabi ng tarmac sa NAIA-1. — LBG, GMA News

Biden said set to make push for demilitarized Palestinian state as part of new doctrine ---By LAZAR BERMAN

New York Times’ Thomas Friedman, who’s close to the US administration, says emerging doctrine would include Saudi-Israeli normalization, 2-state solution, and campaign against Iran US President Joe Biden’s administration is homing in on a new doctrine involving an unprecedented push to immediately advance the creation of a demilitarized but viable Palestinian state, The New York Times’ Thomas Friedman reported on Thursday. The plan, Friedman wrote, “would involve some form of US recognition of a demilitarized Palestinian state in the West Bank and Gaza Strip that would come into being only once Palestinians had developed a set of defined, credible institutions and security capabilities to ensure that this state was viable and that it could never threaten Israel.” White House officials “have been consulting experts inside and outside the US government about different forms this recognition of Palestinian statehood might take,” revealed Friedman. What he termed the new “Biden Doctrin
