In an effort to to support its ground operations, improve passenger convenience and ensure the safe and efficient flow of movements at the airport, a new fleet of vehicles had been introduced at the Ninoy Aquino International Airport (NAIA).
This was learned from the airport operator, New NAIA Infra Corp. (NNIC) president Ramon S. Ang, who said that the said new additions include two new ambulances equipped with advanced medical tools and staffed by trained paramedics to provide swift medical assistance when needed.
Ang said three “follow-me” vehicles have also been added to guide aircraft to their designated parking positions more efficiently, helping minimize taxi times and contributing to smoother operations, while four inter-terminal coasters have also been deployed to 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 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,” Ang said.
Meanwhile, NNIC general manager Lito Alvarez explained that 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. This initiative is part of NNIC’s broader efforts to modernize NAIA and deliver world-class service,” he added.
