The National Task Force on Emerging Diseases NTF-IATF) has downgraded international capacity of Manila International Airport back to 3,000 passengers a day beginning January 12 from 6,000 passengers last week.
In a latest advisory sent by Transport Department (DOTr) to the Civil Aeronautics Board (CAB) dated January 7 and sent to government offices and Philippine diplomatic posts overseas, CAB Executive Director Carmelo Arcilla said international passenger arrivals at NAIA will be capped at a maximum of 3,000 per day effective midnight of January 12 due to rising incidents of Covid19 infections among passengers and airport staff.
Bureau of Quarantine reported 19 incidents of covid19 infection from arriving passengers who came from overseas yesterday.
The maximum capacity restrictions will be valid for 15 days, subject to updates by the IATF whether to extend or lift the flight restrictions.
International quarantine capacity in other international airport across the country remains unaffected.

Arcilla said passengers traveling to the Philippines within these dates should contact their airlines for updates and re-schedule flights to avoid inconveniences at the airport.
Philippine Airlines said that they have rerouted some of their affected flights bound for Manila to Cebu, Davao, Clark, Subic and Laoag.
