NAIA expects 1.18M passengers this Holy Week

New NAIA Infra Corp. (NNIC) anticipates over 1.18 million passengers at Ninoy Aquino International Airport (NAIA) from April 13 to 20, a 14.23 percent increase from last year's 1.04 million.

Flight movements are projected to rise from 6,537 in 2024 to 6,724 this year, with Good Friday, April 18, expected to be the busiest day with 851 flights, while Holy Tuesday will be the lightest.

NNIC assures readiness for the influx with round-the-clock assistance desks in all terminals manned by airport personnel, medical teams, and uniformed officers.

Additional traffic aides will be deployed to manage curbside and parking flow, and improved wi-fi connectivity will be available.

NNIC general manager Angelito Alvarez stated that these measures are a team effort involving government partners, airline operators, and the entire airport community to ensure smooth operations.

NNIC advises passengers to arrive at least three hours before international flights and two hours before domestic flights to avoid delays.

Travelers are encouraged to double-check flight details and terminal assignments, ensure travel documents are complete, and avoid prohibited items.
