Instead, any adjustments, including terminal reassignments, will be phased in gradually to ensure a smooth transition, it said in a statement Tuesday afternoon.
NNIC general manager Angelito Alvarez, speaking at the aviation forum hosted by the Economic Journalists Association of the Philippines the previous day, emphasized that terminal reassignments will be implemented carefully and in consultation with airline stakeholders.
This approach is designed to avoid confusion and disruptions, ensuring minimal impact on passengers and operations.
Any changes will not be a one-time event but a step-by-step process, Alvarez explained.
He added that NNIC's priority is to maintain current operations while gradually introducing improvements aimed at enhancing the overall passenger experience.
These phased changes are part of NNIC's long-term plan to modernize NAIA, focusing on efficiency and elevating service standards.
Passengers can expect the transition to be seamless, with NNIC committed to minimizing disruptions while collaborating closely with airlines and other stakeholders to optimize terminal assignments and improve airport services over time.
This measured approach underscores NNIC’s focus on sustainability and coordination as it embarks on modernizing the country’s main international gateway, the firm said.
