A statement released on Monday, August 11, FAAN said:”We apologise for any inconvenience caused and appreciate your patience and understanding.”

FAAN urged travellers to check traffic updates before setting out, confirm their flight status with airlines for any schedule changes, and consider using alternative routes to avoid heavily congested areas.

The agency also advised passengers to plan extra travel time to the airport and stay informed through official channels for further updates.
