Philippines: Power outage causing flight disruptions at Manila's Ninoy Aquino International Airport as of May 1

Event

A power outage at Terminal 3 of Manila Ninoy Aquino International Airport (MNL) has prompted flight disruptions as of the morning of May 1. Officials have canceled at least 40 domestic flights due to the outage. Delays and cancelations may affect other international and domestic services. Rerouting to nearby airports may also delay flights crossing Manila airspace. It is unclear when normal operations will resume.

Flight delays and cancellations are likely to continue until authorities restore power supply. Lingering disruptions are probable through May 1 as airlines work to clear passenger backlogs.

Advice

Reconfirm flights in MNL through May 1. Do not check out of accommodations until onward travel is confirmed.
