A spokesperson emphasized that the situation is developing:
“We are prioritising customers affected by the disruption. This is an evolving situation, which we continue to monitor closely in coordination with the relevant authorities. We are working diligently to ramp up operations once temporary restrictions are lifted.
Customers are advised not to travel to the airport unless contacted directly with a confirmed departure time.
