Philippine authorities have allowed a major airport to partially reopen despite a damaged plane stuck in the grass near the runway after an incident over the weekend.

The airport on Mactan island in Cebu province, the country’s second-busiest, is reopening from sunrise to sunset to help ease the large numbers of cancelled commercial flights and stranded passengers due to the Korean Air mishap Sunday night.
