Several domestic flights were affected by power outage at the Ninoy Aquino International Airport Terminal 3 which hit early Monday morning.
A power outage hit the Ninoy Aquino International Airport (NAIA) Terminal 3 on early Monday that caused delays in several domestic flights.
According to Manila International Airport Authority (MIAA), the power failure occurred at 1:05 a.m. which temporarily crippled operations and disrupted 40 departing flights.
The MIAA said a standby power "is now supplying to critical facilities enabling computer systems of airlines and immigration to function partially of both inbound and outbound passengers. As a result, delayed flights shall be expected."
Its personnel at Terminal 3 are doing the normal routine of providing assistance and answering inquiries.
