Manila‘s Ninoy Aquino International Airport is closed until further notice. The largest airport in the Philippines closed Sunday night at 6.30 pm after a dramatic explosion of the Philippines’ second-most active volcano on Sunday has prompted warnings of a possible “volcanic tsunami” and required tens of thousands of people to be evacuated.
Approximately 5 percent of tsunamis are formed from volcanoes and approximately 16.9 percent of volcanic fatalities occur from tsunamis.
A volcanic tsunami may be imminent in the Philippines,
The temporary closure of the Manila Airport is based on official announcements from the airport authority and the Civil Aviation Authority of the Philippines.
