According to CAAP, a Notam was issued to the Aviation Authority in early May informing airlines of the suspension, allowing the airport to limit the number of affected flights to just two.

“Because the NOTAM was issued early, airlines were notified promptly, giving them sufficient time to adjust their flight schedules,” the CAAP said.

“Due to this advance notice, only two flights are affected during this period,” it said.
