The Civil Aeronautics Board (CAB) has increased the passenger cap at the Ninoy Aquino International Airport (NAIA) to 4000 a day.
During the public briefing #laginghanda on Friday, November 5, 2021 CAB Exec. Dir Arcilla says there was a flight downturn in the previous months due to the Delta variant outbreak: Iyong July, ang ganda noon, naka 666,000 passengers ang NAIA during that month.
CAB Exec. Dir Arcilla: Dati, ang internationa] arrival limit natin sa NAIA is nasa 5,000 na. Noong magkaroon ng Delta variant, binaba ito sa 2,000. Fortunately in October naitaas na ito sa 3,000, at simula ng Nov. 1 ay nagawa na itong 4,000 uli.
“Sa ngayon ay mayroon pa ring limitasyon ang international arrival sa NAIA, at ito nga ay nasa 4,000 ngayon.” – CAB Exec. Dir Arcilla
Civil Aeronautics Board executive director Carmelo L. Arcilla hopes the govt will further increase the daily cap for international passenger arrivals: “Umaasa tayo na sa susunod na linggo, tumaas pa ito, maging 5,000 or even more.”
