00:00 How is the situation in Naia? Let's find out in this episode of On The Spot with Sandra Aguinaldo.
00:06 Sandra.
00:08 Yes, Rafi. DOCR Secretary Jaime Bautista and Manila International Airport Authority or IC Brian Poe
00:17 are in the check-in area and are entering the immigration area and the free departure area. They are talking to some passengers and staff of the airport.
00:32 They saw a problem with the number of delayed flights, Rafi. One passenger told him that his flight was from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m.
00:47 Today is the 8th, Rafi. According to the passenger you talked to, his time for his vacation in Cebu will be reduced.
01:00 There are many passengers who are expecting Christmas. According to Bautista, he expects that Naia will close.
01:11 The airport is in a congested state because the capacity is 32 million in total, but now it is being sold for 45 million.
01:25 Now that it's Christmas, there are additional flights to serve our many passengers. He thinks the peak is coming.
01:35 There are many people now and tomorrow. He thinks that in one day, 140,000 to 145,000 passengers will be served in Naia.
01:48 With the number of flights, the pre-pandemic level is increasing. But overall, he said, the feedback he received is that the situation of passengers is good until they board the airplane.
02:07 It's hard to avoid the delay of flights and there are canceled flights, for example. But this is possible because of the weather or the condition of the airplane.
02:21 Until now, the DOTR is just leaving Calihim and he will fly to the PITF. Rafi.
02:29 Thank you very much, Sandra Aguinaldo.
