MIAA general manager Eric Ines anticipates a 15 percent increase in passenger volume during this year's Semana Santa, or from Palm Sunday to Easter Sunday. Last year, the MIAA recorded 926,755 passengers passing through the Ninoy Aquino International Airport terminals.

To make travel a better experience for everyone, he said the MIAA, in its Biyaheng Ayos, already ensured adequate manpower, equipment, and optimal working conditions for amenities and key facilities that include critical airport utilities and backup systems.

It has also coordinated with Maynilad for uninterrupted water service and made sure that all generator sets, in case of power failure, will be working properly.

Ines said that provisions, such as "malasakit kits," would be available for passengers in case of flight disruptions, along with assistance desks in all four terminals to address passenger concerns.
