Para sa ligtas, komportable at mabilis na proseso para sa mga manlalakbay ngayong ‘long weekend’ at All Saints’ Day, binuhay muli ng New NAIA Infra Corp. (NNIC) ang Oplan Undas 2025 sa Ninoy Aquino International Airport (NAIA) terminals.
“Undas is one of the busiest travel periods for the airport, and we are fully prepared to manage the expected surge. We have deployed additional personnel, strengthened coordination with partner agencies, and activated passenger assistance counters to make travel smoother and safer for everyone,” saad ni NNIC President Ramon S. Ang, at aniya, ang Undas operation mula October 25 hanggang November 3, 2025 ay aasikaso sa may 1.35 million pasahero, mula sa 1.3 million sa nakalipas na taon.
Tiniyak ni Ang na nakikipag-ugnayan ang NNIC sa mga partners sa gobyerno gaya ng Manila International Airport Authority (MIAA) na pinamumunuan ni general manager Eric Ines, Department of Transportation (DOTr), Office for Transportation Security (OTS), Philippine National Police–Aviation Security Group (PNP-ASG), Bureau of Immigration, and Bureau of Customs for adequate manpower and resources across all terminals.
“To improve safety, PNP Special Operations Unit (SOU) teams and K-9 units are deployed throughout NAIA for monitoring and proactive security patrols. Oplan Assistance Counters have also been set up at key passenger areas to assist travelers with directions, inquiries, and lost-and-found concerns, among others,”ani Angd.
Sa ikalawang Undas sa ilalim ng NNIC, sinabi ni NNIC general manager Lito Alvarez na patuloy na nakikinabang ang NAIA sa major modernization efforts na nakabubuti sa mga pasahero.
Ani Alvarez, “since NNIC took over in September 2024, on-time performance (OTP) has reached a record 92.29%, the highest single-day rate so far. The airport has handled 51.7 million passengers in its first year of operations, a 4% increase over the same period last year.”
“The NNIC has also remitted P57 billion to the government, including an upfront payment of P30 billion, under an 82.16% revenue share — the highest among all public-private partnerships in the Philippines and to date, P3.25 billion has been invested in upgrades as part of a P72-billion, five-year capital expenditure program,”dagdag pa ni Alvarez.
“Passengers are now experiencing the results of these improvements with more stable power and air-conditioning systems, flood-free access roads following extensive waterway cleanups, and stronger Wi-Fi. Moving around the airport has also become easier with a centralized TNVS hub, an automated parking system, wider curbsides, and smoother terminal access. Meanwhile, new food halls and restaurants — nine of 22 already open at Terminal 3 — are creating jobs and business opportunities, with similar developments underway at Terminals 1 and 2,” saad pa nito.
“Other key initiatives include the installation of 95% of 586 new Flight Information Display Systems (FIDS) for real-time updates under NAIA’s new quiet terminal concept, which minimizes background noise and relies on digital displays for flight information; the deployment of 517 biometric-enabled passenger processing units across terminals for faster check-in, boarding, and security screening; and the ongoing installation of 78 Immigration e-gates and 113 verification desks, with Phase 1 targeted for completion by December 2025. NNIC has also opened the 6,000-sqm Mezzanine Food Hall and new passenger lounges, offering travelers more dining choices and comfortable spaces to relax before their flights,” paliwanag pa ni Alvarez.
Samantala, pinapayuhan ng NNIC ang mga pasahero na dumating nang maaga—tatlong oras para sa international flights at dalawang oras para sa domestic — at maglaan ng dagdag na oras para sa security screening. Pinayuhan din ang mga pasahero na mag-‘pack smart, keep valuables safe and avoid bringing prohibited items.’
