The taxiway and runway was closed, the Philippines Civil Aviation Authority instructed immediate emergency repairs. Following the repairs high speed turn off R3 was limited to Category C or less aircraft.
Preliminary investigation results suggest that a poor asphalt mix had been used by the contractor resulting in degraded load capacity, thus not able to support heavy aircraft like A330s or B744s. When the Eva Air B744 rolled over that asphalt a section 1 meter wide, 9 meters long and 12cm deep separated and were blown against the flaps by the engine exhaust.
