NAIA Terminal 3 flight ops fully normalized after global IT outage

Flight operations at Ninoy Aquino International Airport (NAIA) Terminal 3 are now fully normalized for airlines affected by the global IT outage as of Saturday afternoon.

Manila International Airport Authority General Manager Eric Ines advises passengers to verify their flight statuses before heading to NAIA and urges them to wait for advisories from airlines to avoid overcrowding at the airport.

Although some airlines like Cebu Pacific have resumed operations, others such as AirAsia had to cancel flights on Saturday due to ongoing system issues but are now fully restored online.

AirAsia spokesperson Steve Dailisan assured passengers that their app was down temporarily and not due to a cyberattack, with check-in procedures being handled manually until the system recovers.

Some passengers who were affected by flight cancellations expressed dismay over disrupted travel plans while others like Michelle Colima felt relieved as her airline restored its systems.
