The Manila International Airport Authority (MIAA) has recorded an average of 135,000 to 142,000 passenger volume daily up from the usual 120,000 to 130,000 on a daily basis.
MIAA recorded last December 16 the highest daily volume for the month at the Ninoy Aquino International Airport at 142,379.
Long lines at check-in and immigration counters are also visible as more passengers travel before Christmas day.
“Highest will be around 140,000-145,000 passengers per day… December 21, 22, 23, doon natin inaasahan ang pinakamaraming bibiyahe at gagamit ng ating terminals,” MIAA Officer-in-Charge Bryan Co said.
Co said that security measures are in place amid the influx of passengers.
“Naka-heightened alert naman tayo lagi. Normal protocol naman natin is be vigilant, especially during the holiday season,” Co added.
