MANILA, Philippines — There will be an increase in passengers at the Ninoy Aquino International Airport (NAIA) Terminal 2 starting November 5 when several local airlines from Terminal 4shift their operations there temporarily.
Terminal 4, the old Manila Domestic Passenger Terminal, will be closed for renovation beginning November 6 as part of an ongoing initiative led by the New NAIA Infrastructure Corp. (NNIC) to modernize its infrastructure and improve the overall travel experience for passengers.
The San Miguel-led NNIC announced in a statement that it would focus on security improvements, better passenger flow, and facilities.
“Expect a busier Manila Terminal 2 from November 5. We anticipate a higher passenger volume at Terminal 2 as three airlines transfer their domestic flights from another NAIA terminal,” according to Philippine Airlines (PAL).
PAL suggests that passengers utilize the online check-in feature and arrive at the airport with ample time to spare, a minimum of three hours before their domestic flight, to allow for any potential delays in airport procedures.
In the meantime, Cebgo has stated that starting on November 7, all DG flights to and from NAIA will be relocated from Terminal 4 to Terminal 2.
The affected flights include routes to and from Busuanga, Caticlan, Cebu, Legazpi, Masbate, Naga, San Jose, Siargao, and Surigao.
The renovated terminal is expected to reopen in February 2025.
Terminal 4 serves an average of 2,900 passengers daily, with 1,400 arrivals and 1,500 departures, making up 2.23 percent of the terminal’s overall daily passenger traffic.
