Manila:Heightened security measures will be implemented at the Ninoy Aquino International Airport (NAIA) from November 13 to 18, 2026, as the country hosts the 49th ASEAN Summit and Related Summits.
According to Philippines News agency, the airport operator New NAIA Infra Corp. (NNIC) advised passengers on Friday about temporary traffic restrictions and potential flight schedule adjustments during this period. The government had previously announced that over 300 flights would be either canceled or rescheduled, prompting NNIC to urge travelers to check updates via NAIA and the airlines' official channels.
NNIC's advisory emphasized the importance of passengers checking their flight status, as some airlines have already announced cancellations and further schedule changes may occur. Travelers are also encouraged to review the latest traffic advisories and consider alternative routes due to road closures and traffic restrictions that may impact access to and from the airport.
Meanwhile, normal operations are expected to continue at Clark and Cebu airports. Clark International Airport's operator, LIPAD, stated that it is prepared to accommodate possible flight diversions resulting from the increased flight activities in Manila due to the ASEAN Summit. Similarly, Aboitiz InfraCapital Cebu Airport Corporation, which manages the Mactan-Cebu International Airport, confirmed its readiness to assist and maintain normal operations.
