MANILA, Philippines — There will be an increase in passengers at the Ninoy Aquino International Airport (NAIA) Terminal 2 starting November 5 when several local airlines from Terminal 4shift their operations there temporarily.

Terminal 4, the old Manila Domestic Passenger Terminal, will be closed for renovation beginning November 6 as part of an ongoing initiative led by the New NAIA Infrastructure Corp. (NNIC) to modernize its infrastructure and improve the overall travel experience for passengers.

The San Miguel-led NNIC announced in a statement that it would focus on security improvements, better passenger flow, and facilities.

“Expect a busier Manila Terminal 2 from November 5. We anticipate a higher passenger volume at Terminal 2 as three airlines transfer their domestic flights from another NAIA terminal,” according to Philippine Airlines (PAL).

PAL suggests that passengers utilize the online check-in feature and arrive at the airport with ample time to spare, a minimum of three hours before their domestic flight, to allow for any potential delays in airport procedures.
