Airport authorities at the Ninoy Aquino International Airport (NAIA), the country’s busiest gateway, deployed additional staff to handle long queues at check-in counters and distribution of “Malasakit Kits” to affected passengers.
Manila International Airport Authority general manager Eric Jose Ines has instructed terminal managers to monitor the situation closely and provide assistance as needed.
The Medical Division is on high alert for any emergencies, it added.
MIAA is addressing system issues at NAIA affecting two local airlines, linked to a cyber incident involving CrowdStrike.
International flights remain unaffected as of 4:00 p.m., it added.
CrowdStrike reported widespread “BSODs” (Blue Screen of Death) on Windows systems. The cyber disruption is impacting critical services globally, including flights, banking, and operations in countries like Singapore, the United States, and Australia.
