DOTr eyes 150K daily passengers at NAIA for Holy Week 2025

April 15 ------ Around 150,000 passengers are expected to troop to terminals of the Ninoy Aquino International Airport (NAIA) everyday throughout the Holy Week exodus, Transportation Secretary Vince Dizon said. 

Dizon said he has coordinated with San Miguel Corp., which oversees the operations of the country’s main gateway, as well as the Manila International Airport Authority (MIAA), to ensure that the travel experience of passengers at NAIA would be safe, convenient, and smooth sailing. “Napakadaming dumadagsa sa ating mga airports ngayon. Sa NAIA lang, baka ine-estimate na aabutin ng 150,000 kada araw ang dadagsa sa ating mga airport na bibyaheng mga kababayan natin,” the Transport chief said in a Super Radyo dzBB interview.

Dizon said NAIA’s private operator has assigned additional personnel at the check-in counters to manage long queues, and has doubled the driveway lanes to reduce vehicular traffic. Restrooms at the NAIA were also fixed to ensure cleanliness and availability. Aside from airports, Dizon said all other transportation facilities such as seaports and bus terminals are on high alert this Holy Week.
