The Civil Aviation Authority of the Philippines (Caap) has extended its Notice to Airmen (NOTAM) covering flights near Taal Volcano in Batangas until Friday morning, October 3.
This came after the Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology reported on Thursday that two additional eruptions had been observed at the volcano.
In its latest advisory released on Thursday afternoon, Caap said the NOTAM, which covers flights near Taal with vertical limits from the surface up to 11,000 feet, will be in effect until 9 a.m. Friday.
‘Flight operators are strongly advised to avoid flying near the volcano,’ Caap advised airmen.
The aviation authority issued the NOTAM on Wednesday after a minor phreatomagmatic eruption from Taal’s main crater occurred from 2:02 a.m. to 2:15 a.m. that day.
Taal Volcano remains under Alert Level 1.
