Power Outages Scheduled at Ninoy Aquino Airport - Manila, Philippines

Until 28 May, regulated power supply shutdowns will occur at the Ninoy Aquino International Airport Terminal 3. The disruptions are being made to allow replacement of deteriorated medium voltage switchgear in eight substations within Terminal 3. The interruptions will affect the terminal’s open and multilevel parking, substations in the south and north concourses as well as the main substation of the terminal. Maintenance work will commence around 00:00 hours (local time) when the least number of flights are scheduled. Standby generators will be made available at each substation. Passengers may also experience reduced air-conditioning supply as well as malfunctioning escalators from time to time in some parts of Terminal 3.

Advice

Check with the airport or your travel agent/airline to determine if your travel plans are affected. Expect and prepare for residual delays. A limited power supply is also possible. Keep your cellphone batteries charged, and surge-protect your appliances. Switch off all non-essential electrical appliances to avoid power surges when the power resumes. Service and travel disruptions are possible.
