Several flights have been delayed or canceled due to a power failure that struck the Ninoy Aquino International Airport (Naia) Terminal 3 on Labor Day, May 1.
The Manila International Airport Authority (Miaa) said the power outage was encountered at around 1:05 a.m.
“Standby power is now supplying electricity to critical facilities enabling computer systems of airlines and immigration to function partially and enable processing of both inbound and outbound passengers. As a result, delayed flights shall be expected,” Miaa said in a statement.
It later noted that the following flights are called off as 12:30 p.m.:
