MIAA consolidates all remaining flights to NAIA Terminal 1

The Manila International Airport Authority (MIAA) is consolidating all remaining flights into NAIA Terminal 1 starting March 28, 2020, due to the enhanced community quarantine (ECQ).

This move aims to minimize airport worker exposure to COVID-19 while ensuring continuous operations, as directed by DOTr Secretary Arthur Tugade.

Only 28 flights are scheduled for Friday, March 27, 2020, comprising 15 arrivals and 13 departures, primarily by foreign carriers with a few Philippine Airlines flights.

Philippine Airlines suspended international flight operations on March 26 until April 14 due to low travel demand and global travel restrictions.

All local carriers, including Philippine Airlines, Cebu Pacific, and AirAsia Philippines, have temporarily halted domestic operations in support of the Luzon-wide ECQ and local government travel restrictions.

The MIAA has closed NAIA Terminals 2 (Domestic wing), 3 (Domestic), and 4, with flight movements dropping significantly.

A Notice to Airmen (NOTAM) has been issued, designating NAIA Terminal 1 as the sole operational terminal for the ECQ duration, while Terminal 2 is reserved for sweeper and repatriation flights for foreign nationals.
