The Civil Aviation Authority of the Philippines (CAAP) reported the success of its Christmas travel operations, attributing to enhanced planning, proactive measures, and collaboration with airport stakeholders.
The surge in holiday traffic was met with streamlined processes, which included faster check-ins, improved baggage handling, and better management of passenger flow.
“Christmas is one of the busiest times of the year, and we’re delighted to have provided seamless travel experiences for Filipinos and international visitors. Our efforts reflect our commitment to operational excellence, even under peak demand,” said CAAP Director General Captain Manuel Antonio Tamayo.
As New Year celebrations approach, CAAP remains on heightened alert to maintain safe and efficient airport services in line with the directive from the Department of Transportation.
As airports prepare for a second wave of holiday travelers, CAAP is reinforcing its protocols to ensure safety and convenience.
The agency also reminds passengers to follow travel guidelines, arrive early for their flights, and be mindful of prohibited items to help maintain smooth airport operations.
CAAP expects an increase of 7 to 10 percent in air passengers this year compared to the 2.4 million passengers recorded in December of last year.
