The management of the Ninoy Aquino International Airport came up with measures in connection with the traditional observance of All Saints’ Day and All Souls’ Day when the number of air travelers are expected to increase.
In a Kapihan sa NAIA forum held Wednesday, Manila International Airport Authority general manager Eddie Monreal said he ordered the entire airport facility to be placed under alert before, during and after the holiday break to ensure the safety of passengers and stakeholders.
Monreal tapped all department heads to ensure the deployment of enough personnel to assist travelers, especially the elderly passengers, persons with disability and those in need during emergency situation.
He said help desk, doctors and nurses, and staff from Public Affairs Office under its chief Connie Bungag will also help organize things and assist passengers regarding their flight schedules and information especially domestic flights.
All terminal managers and assistant managers will perform their regular functions even during the days declared as holidays, aside from MIAA officials and employees who have been authorized to support the management and operations.
The airport management will also make sure that facilities like comfort rooms are clean and have enough supply of water.
Monreal added that to avoid congestions, airline companies will adjust the time in opening check-in counters.
