Before this, the Civil Aviation Authority of the Philippines (CAAP) has issued a NOTAM from January 3 to January 4, 2026 in response to the increasing unrest of Mayon Volcano.
With Mayon Volcano raised to Alert Level 2, aircraft operations were prohibited within 11,000 feet above the summit and pilots are strongly advised to avoid flying close to the volcano, as volcanic ash from sudden phreatic eruptions poses a serious hazard to aircraft safety.
CAAP continues to closely coordinate with relevant agencies and reminds all air operators to strictly comply with issued NOTAMs.
The CAAP operates seven airports in the Bicol Region, namely: Bulan Airport, Sorsogon Airport, Daet Airport, Masbate Airport, Naga Airport, Virac Airport and Bicol International Airport.
