MANILA  -  The Civil Aviation Authority of the Philippines (CAAP) has raised its airport and area center operations to heightened alert status as the country braces for the arrival of potential Super Typhoon Uwan.

CAAP Director General Raul Del Rosario ordered all airport managers, especially those in areas projected to be affected by the storm, to activate their respective emergency preparedness and response plans.

The agency said the directive aims to ensure the safety of passengers, aircraft, and airport facilities amid the expected impact of the approaching typhoon.

CAAP added that its teams are closely monitoring weather updates from PAGASA and are coordinating with airlines and local authorities to prevent disruptions and ensure readiness once the potential Super Typhoon Uwan enters the Philippine area of responsibility.
