XiamenAir to pay Manila airport for overrun incident

The airport authority of Manila, Philippines, will seek at least PHP15m ($280,000) from XiamenAir to cover costs of a runway overrun at the city’s Ninoy Aquino International Airport on Aug. 16. The amount covers damage to runway lights and the cost of moving the aircraft, the authority’s general manager Eddie Monreal said. “All we spent during the recovery operations will be charged to XiamenAir,” Monreal told ANC television. The cost could exceed the initial estimate of PHP15 million, he said. XiamenAir has promised to pay for the damage to equipment and removal costs. <br/>
