The Ninoy Aquino International Airport (NAIA) is expecting over 155,000 travelers daily during the Holy Week, according to the New NAIA Infra Corp. (NNIC). This marks an increase from the 145,000 passengers recorded last year.
NNIC General Manager Lito Alvarez shared that the expected number of travelers for this year ranges from 155,000 to 157,000 daily. Despite the high volume of passengers, Alvarez expressed confidence in NAIA’s capacity to handle the surge. He emphasized the importance of cooperation between the NNIC, Manila International Airport Authority (MIAA), and the Department of Transportation (DOTr) to ensure smooth operations and avoid travel delays.
Transportation Secretary Vince Dizon also urged the public to plan their trips earlier to avoid the expected surge of travelers during the busy period.
