Overview

• A severe thunderstorm with wind gusts up to 82 km/h and 81.2 mm of rain caused the canopy at Terminal 1 to collapse on Sunday morning.
• Authorities attributed the collapse to accumulated rainwater and described it as a design response to extreme weather conditions to aid water dispersal.
• The incident disrupted airport operations, with 49 flights, including 17 international ones, diverted to other locations.
• No injuries were reported, but the collapse has reignited concerns about the safety and resilience of public infrastructure during extreme weather events.
• The canopy was installed after a fatal collapse in June 2024, prompting criticism over the quality of infrastructure improvements made since then.
