Ceiling drop and track closure at the AICM
The AICM detailed in a statement published on its Twitter account that the damage resulting from the collapse of the pluvial systems became evident in Terminal 1 of the airport, where leaks in various areas of the terminal caused a ceiling to collapse.
Additionally, the flooding on runway 05L/23R caused operations to be compromised, leading to the decision to temporarily close said runway from 4:51 p.m. to 5:59 p.m.
Avenida Capitán Carlos León, which serves as access to Terminal 1, also suffered flooding. This made it difficult for passengers to arrive and generated traffic in the surrounding area.
What will happen to the flights?
Airport authorities have indicated that they are closely monitoring the situation and will provide updates as information becomes available.
Passengers and those with travel plans to and from the AICM are advised to stay informed through the official accounts of the airport and airlines on social networks and regular communication channels.
