Travelers, Take Note: These Airlines Are Switching NAIA Terminals

(SPOT.ph) Traveling soon? If you're a frequent flyer, you might be surprised to see your favorite airline switching terminals. Don't be—it's part of Manila International Airport Authority's rationalization program to make the Ninoy Aquino International Airport Terminal 2 an all-domestic hub starting July.

As early as April 16, some international flights will be reassigned to Terminals 1 and 3, "where passengers can enjoy a wider selection of food and retail stores and spend more time in duty free shopping," the MIAA said in a statement released this Sunday, March 26.

By doing so, it frees up Terminal 2 for domestic flights and allows Customs, Immigration and Quarantine officers to be reassigned to other NAIA terminals, MIAA said.

"While we are planning for a seamless transition, there could be some minor inconveniences during this period hence our appeal for understanding as this is part of our strategic program to improve the overall experience of our customers," said MIAA General Manager Cesar Chiong.
