Some inbound international flights will be allowed to land at the Ninoy Aquino International Airport (NAIA) starting Monday, the Civil Aviation Authority of the Philippines announces
In a statement, the CAAP said it had released a Notice to Airmen saying chartered flights will be allowed to land on Mondays and Thursdays. These flights must have prior clearance from the aviation authority and the Department of Foreign Affairs for slotting purposes.
Meanwhile, scheduled commercial flights may land on NAIA on all other days of the week provided they secure approval from the CAAP 48 hours before their scheduled departure from their airport of origin. This is for the"necessary slotting and rescheduling of flights in order to subscribe to the 400 passengers per day capacity of NAIA," said CAAP.CAAP said the notice does not cover en route flights experiencing emergency, ferry or cargo flights, government or military flights, weather mitigation flights, maintenance flights, and authorized outbound ferry or cargo flights with passengers, according to the aviation authority.
Among the reasons the moratorium on flights was imposed was for the government to ramp up its capacity to properly process the number of overseas Filipino returning to the country that has been increasing by the day.
