A sport utility vehicle (SUV) rammed into the passenger entrance of Ninoy Aquino International Airport (NAIA) Terminal 1’s departure area early Sunday morning.
According to the New NAIA Infra Corp. (NNIC), the vehicle crashed through the outer railing and onto the walkway near the terminal entrance. The area has since been secured, with access limited to authorized personnel from NNIC, the Philippine National Police (PNP), and the Manila International Airport Authority (MIAA) Security, who are conducting a full investigation.
NNIC confirmed that several individuals sustained injuries and are now receiving treatment. The driver is currently in police custody.
“At this time, we are awaiting official confirmation on the cause of the incident and reports of injuries. We are closely coordinating with all concerned agencies to gather accurate information,” NNIC said in a statement.
“We understand the concern this incident has caused, especially as images have circulated on social media. We urge the public not to speculate and to wait for verified updates, which will be issued as soon as they become available,” it added.
