The Bureau of Immigration (BI) has recorded about 10-percent increase in arriving and departing passengers following changes in airline assignments at the Ninoy Aquino International Airport (NAIA).
This as the BI assured passengers going abroad via the NAIA Terminal 3 of fast processing amid overcrowding in the airport’s immigration departure area.
“I have instructed the BI T3 terminal head to ensure that all counters are fully manned to service travelers. But evidently, more space is needed for us to be able to install new counters and add more people,” Tansingco said. “We have requested airport authorities to construct additional counters, and we are thankful for their commitment that this will be completed by the last quarter of the year,” Tansingco said.
“This is a welcome development for us, to make things easier and more convenient for the traveling public,” he said. He said the recent transfer to NAIA 3 of China Southern Airlines, Gulf Air, Jeju Air, Thai Airways, Ethiopian Airlines, Jetstar, Starlux, and Scoot, has caused a 10-percent increase in the average number of passengers who depart from NAIA 3 daily.
“Among these are the installation of additional BI counters and expanding the space of our departure area,” he added.
