Amid expected rise in volume of passengers, MIAA urges travelers to go to airport early

(Eagle News) –The Manila International Airport Authority has reminded travelers to go to the airport early with the expected rise in the volume of passengers who plan to go on trips abroad or to the provinces this season.

In a statement, MIAA said passengers should be at the Ninoy Aquino International Airport at least three hours before their international flights and two hours before their domestic flights.

“Airlines were however not discouraged to impose longer lead time for departure especially for those taking direct flights to America and Australia due to the added security measures now being implemented during check-in,” MIAA said.

According to MIAA, help desks  will be situated in the airports to be manned jointly by personnel from the MIAA operations unit, and the public affairs unit.

Police and medical teams, MIAA said, will also be deployed in all NAIA terminals.

The Malasakit help desks will be the focal point for all inquiries relating to airport and airline operations and rights of passengers, MIAA said.
