The problem, identified at 5:30 PM local time, has forced a complete suspension of both international and domestic flights. Airport officials are prioritizing the swift resolution of the airfield lighting issue to minimize passenger inconvenience. This unexpected halt has already led to multiple flight delays and has placed at least five aircraft on hold. Travelers are strongly advised to maintain contact with their airlines for the most current information regarding flight status and any potential changes to their travel plans as the airport works to restore full functionality.
