The Ninoy Aquino International Airport (Naia) extended the closure of a runway where a Chinese plane veered off in a muddy field until 7:00 p.m. on Friday.

Naia announced this second extension after Xiamen Air flight MF8667 overshot the 06/24 runway of the airport. It earlier extended the closure until only 4:00 p.m.

“All options are being considered to recover the aircraft more expeditiously so flight operations at the Naia international runway can resume,” Naia said in a Facebook post.
