Passenger volume swells as PAL international flights move to NAIA Terminal 1
Philippine Airlines (PAL) international flights have been moved from Terminal 2 to Terminal 1 at the Ninoy Aquino International Airport (NAIA) starting June 16.
This reassignment is part of the Manila International Airport Authority's (MIAA) Schedule and Terminal Assignment Rationalization (STAR) program.
Long queues were observed at Terminal 1 on the first day of the transfer.
Meanwhile, all domestic flights of PAL will now operate from Terminal 2, alongside domestic flights of AirAsia.
The MIAA estimates that the capacity of Terminal 2 will increase from 7.5 million to 10 million passengers a year due to these changes.
Terminal 2 was originally designed as a domestic terminal before PAL began using it exclusively for its international and domestic operations in the 1990s.
