A notice from the CAA states that the airport’s two runways would be closed every day from 5:00 am to 8:00 am, beginning on July 10 and ending on September 10.

All domestic and international flights were notified of the closure by the CAA by NOTAM, and emergency landing facilities will be accessible in the case of an emergency.
