USAF installs runway lights at Tacloban Airport for night time humanitarian operations

From the Philippine News Agency (Nov 14): USAF installs runway lights at Tacloban Airport for night time humanitarian operations

The United States Air Force (USAF) has installed runway lights at Tacloban Airport which now makes it capable for night time humanitarian missions.

The Civil Aviation Authority of the Philippines (CAAP) said the USAF saw the importance of having runway lights during these times and installed them on Wednesday night.

The installation of the runway lights made it possible for the USAF to launch at least 10 flights to Tacloban City using its C-130 cargo plane and brought relief goods all the way from the US.

CAAP said Tacloban Airport is open to C-130 planes on humanitarian mission even as it is only limited to Airbus A320 planes.
