Ninoy Aquino International Airport (NAIA)’s new operator, New NAIA Infra Corporation (NNIC) has introduced a new fleet of vehicles to support its ground operations, improve passenger convenience, and ensure the safe and efficient flow of movements at the airport.
Chief among them are four inter-terminal shuttles which will facilitate seamless airside transfers, providing passengers with a more comfortable and efficient way to move between terminals, particularly those with connecting flights or mobility challenges.
These inter-terminal shuttles will operate every 30 minutes for 24 hours and will be free to all those with onward connecting flights.
NNIC also showed off two new ambulances equipped with advanced medical tools and staffed by trained paramedics to provide swift medical assistance when needed.
Finally, there are three Hilux pickup trucks transformed into “Follow-Me” vehicles. These will guide aircraft to their designated parking positions more efficiently, helping minimize taxi times and contributing to smoother operations.
“These vehicles are essential to support efficient operations and improve the overall passenger experience at NAIA. They complement NAIA’s existing fleet and reflect our commitment to providing a seamless and reliable airport experience,” NNIC president Ramon S. Ang said.
The deployment of these new vehicles comes as NAIA continues to experience rapid growth. For the whole of 2024, NAIA welcomed a record-breaking 50.1 million passengers—a 10.43% increase from 2023.
Having additional vehicles ensures smooth operations during peak periods, maintenance schedules, and emergencies. It also allows NAIA to maintain high service standards while prioritizing passenger safety and comfort.
