NAIA set to resume limited domestic flights
The Manila International Airport Authority (MIAA) is preparing for the resumption of domestic flights starting June 1, coinciding with Metro Manila's shift to General Community Quarantine (GCQ).
Domestic carriers have expressed their intention to operate beginning June 1, with flights restricted to travel between GCQ areas only.
The MIAA will assign terminals to domestic carriers based on approvals from the Civil Aviation Authority of the Philippines (CAAP) to maximize usage and operational efficiency.
NAIA Terminal 1 will continue servicing international commercial flights, Terminal 2 will handle Philippine Airlines' domestic flights alongside repatriation and sweeper flights, and Terminal 3 will be used by Cebu Pacific and AirAsia.
Terminal 4 will remain closed, and international operations will continue with a cap of 400 passengers per day for inbound flights.
The MIAA reported a significant revenue shortfall of P1.8 billion due to the impact of COVID-19 on travel.
