MANILA, Philippines — International flights of flag-carrier Philippine Airlines (PAL) will begin departing and arriving at the Ninoy Aquino International Airport (NAIA) Terminal 1 effective June 16.

The move aims to ease passenger congestion at all NAIA terminals, according to the Manila International Airport Authority.

MIAA officer-in-charge Bryan Co said they would provide free shuttles for two months to pick up passengers who may inadvertently head to the old terminal assignment for PAL.

Co said the MIAA’s Schedule and Terminal Assignment Rationalization or STAR program is in its final phase.

“This is a result of our continuous coordination with airlines and ground handlers to minimize instances of misrouted passengers,” he said.

All domestic flights of AirAsia Philippines will be transferred to NAIA Terminal 2 starting July 1.

Upon completion of the STAR program, Co said NAIA Terminal 2 would be home to all domestic operations of PAL, AirAsia and Royal Air Philippines.

Cebu Pacific’s domestic flights will continue to operate to and from the NAIA Terminals 3 and 4.

The MIAA is working to expand the capacity of the NAIA Terminal 2, according to Co.

At least they let you know. I have a flight booked on Cebu Pacific from CEB to CRK for the end of next week (booked in early June). A few days ago I got an email saying the flight was canceled due to “airline schedule adjustments” and I could reschedule the flight (and pay any differences in the fare) or get a travel voucher in my account for future use.

When I logged on and entered the booking reference number I noticed they had pushed the booking ahead one day.  Same time and same flight number.  Of course they never sent an email saying they did that, only the one saying it was canceled.  

I guess I should be thankful though as when I booked the flight is was a promo base fare of 688 pesos (about 2,300 total when all was said and done) and now the base fare is just over 9k. Pushing it back a day is no big deal for me, but I can imagine it could be for someone else who perhaps already had a prepaid hotel reservation or other prepaid plans / flights.

Terminal 1 is the only one we ever been in & out of, lucky us eh

Is there profit to be made moving airlines around different terminals?

I flew in and out of terminal 1 in May and June. Immigration lines were a mass of confusion then. I can only imagine what the addition of PAL will do to that terminal. Not to mention exiting baggage claim down that long incline to the mayhem below at ground transportation.

There seems to be a determined effort to make NAIA worse for travelers
