Philippine Airport Now Accepting Flights

by VOA News

   Flights are beginning to be accepted Sunday into Manila's Ninoy Aquino
   International Airport after air traffic control technical issues had
   halted flights in and out of the airport.

   "Following the partial restoration of its air traffic management
   system," the Philippine Department of Transportation said in a
   statement, flights are being accepted. The agency said the first flight
   to land was a Philippine Airlines flight from Brisbane, Australia.

   Reuters reported earlier that the suspensions had affected tens of
   thousands of passengers.

   Some information for this report came from Reuters.
