A pilot of a Saudi Arabian Airlines flight accidentally pressed an emergency alarm, creating a hijack scare and triggering a major security response at Manila airport on Tuesday, authorities said.
The main runway at the Philippines' biggest international airport was closed on Monday due to heavy rain, with more than a hundred flights expected to be delayed or diverted, officials said.
A rare power outage plunged a major section of the Philippine capital's main airport into darkness overnight, forcing flight cancellations that stranded thousands on Sunday.
