    “We advise passengers and travelers to be on time for their flights, as we are monitoring all movements at the Civil Aviation Complex, especially at the passenger terminal building, “ Guevarra said.

    According to Guevarra that CIAC has always been strict in its security measures even before the Istanbul incident. but such measures have been “beefed up” because of the Istanbul bombings which is believed to have been carried out by the ISIS.
