NAIA Terminal 4 closes Nov 6, 2024, for renovation until Feb 2025; flights move to Terminal 2

The Ninoy Aquino International Airport's Terminal 4 will temporarily close starting November 6, 2024, for renovation and is set to reopen in February 2025.

New NAIA Infrastructure Corporation (NNIC) announced that all flights currently operating out of Terminal 4 will be transferred to Terminal 2 during the closure period. CebGo and AirSWIFT have already begun relocating operations to Terminal 2, with CebGo moving on November 7 and AirSWIFT starting November 5.

Terminal 4 primarily handles turboprop planes to smaller regional destinations and has been vacated by CebGo and AirSWIFT, which moved their operations to Terminal 2. The terminal accommodates about 2,900 passengers daily or 2.23 percent of NAIA's total passenger volume.

NNIC aims to upgrade NAIA with modern amenities, prioritize safety upgrades, improve passenger flow, and address longstanding issues such as broken air conditioning units and poor connectivity.

Despite the promised improvements, terminal fees for passengers are expected to rise, along with landing and takeoff costs for airlines. Passengers are urged to check their flight schedules with respective airlines and follow updates on NNIC's social media platforms.
