Emergency runway closure immediately due to soft spot in main Runway 06/24 to avoid damage to aircraft. Closure is upon risk assessment made by airport authorities.

The broken runway coating damaged flaps of a Boeing 747.
Expected resumption of flights as of 10 p.m. today. To cope with expected influx of diverted flights, MIAA will forego its regular runway cleaning usually done daily from 1:30 a.m. to 3:30 a.m.
