Airports require health certs, travel passes for flights

Airports have implemented new regulations for passengers amid the COVID-19 pandemic, requiring health certificates and travel passes from the Philippine National Police before boarding planes.

Passengers must also undergo thermal scanning and disinfection upon entering terminals, with strict physical distancing measures in place.

At Ninoy Aquino International Airport Terminal 2, check-in counters now separate ground staff and passengers by glass dividers to avoid direct contact.

Welhelmshaven Pantorilla reported it took him two weeks to obtain both documents due to the lack of public transportation between city hall and PNP station.
