“Minimal disruptions will occur in some areas but Management assures the riding public that critical systems used for passenger processing will remain operational,” MIAA said in a statement.
“The MIAA sees no significant impact of the scheduled works to flight operations,” it added.
The activities come after four power outages at the airport.
In one of the incidents, on Jan. 1, 2023, a power failure disrupted the country’s air navigation system and left thousands of travelers stranded in many airports.
