Cebu Pacific’s low-cost unit CebGo, and boutique airline AirSWIFT earlier announced moving all their flights to Terminal 2 from T4 starting November 7.When NNIC took over NAIA in September, it promised a raft of upgrades and renovations for the facility, which has endured everything from broken air conditioning units, bedbug and rat infestations, to power outages. Coupled with a lack of modern amenities compared to other major airports in Southeast Asia, NAIA has sometimes been called the worst airport in the world.<div><iframe width="640" height="360" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/13Bv9QOwuMI?&amp;wmode=opaque&amp;rel=0" frameBorder="0" allowfullscreen="" class="fr-draggable"></iframe> </div>When it won the bid to rehabilitate and operate NAIA, the San Miguel-led NNIC said it would fix the perennial problems of broken walkalators, airconditioning systems, toilets and boarding bridges while working closely with telcos to improve broadband connectivity.Upgrades to the airport parking system, baggage handling system, self check-in and self bag-drop systems, as well as biometrics scanning were also promised.However, the Department of Transportation said terminal fees for passengers are expected to increase, as well as the landing, take off and other fees for airlines.Last October 1, NNIC hiked parking fees a the airport, which was met with criticism by some, but which also resulted in freeing up parking spaces and reducing vehicle volume in the facility. Landing, take off and other fees were also raised, but the airport operator said most of the fee hikes were approved by the government even before it took over NAIA. CebGo said it fully supports NNIC to improve the efficiency of operations at NAIA. AirSWIFT also said it endorses the long-term vision of NNIC and is committed to collaborating with partners to ensure the seamless execution of future plans.
