PASAY CITY — The Manila International Airport Authority (MIAA) temporarily bans entry of non-passengers and non-airport employees into the NAIA airport terminals.
Effective immediately, sending-off and meeting passengers inside the NAIA Terminals will not be allowed. The move is to further the efforts of Government to contain the spread of the COVID-19 virus.
It may be recalled that the MIAA earlier limited the issuance of access passes for the purpose of meeting and sending-off passengers. This directive is now being expanded to include suspension of the OB card privilege, annual and seasonal ID privilege granted to offices in the different branches of government.
Passengers needing assistance such as elderly, pregnant women, mothers travelling with infant/toddlers, persons with disability and those with medical condition are advised to inform their travel agents upon booking that they would require assistance in the airport. To help these passengers, the Public Affairs office of the MIAA provides free assistance to those who may need it. Their counters are conspicuously located at the check-in halls of the NAIA Terminals.
General Manager Ed Monreal appeals to the public to bear with restrictions that the MIAA may have to impose in the coming days. “The situation is developing. We will do what is necessary under the circumstances for the safety of all,” the airport chief said.
