THE New NAIA Infra Corp. (NNIC) confirmed that a ceiling panel collapsed at a portion of the NAIA Terminal 1 on April 3, 2026.
It was learned that the incident took place at 10:43 a.m. in the West Arrival Curb C area outside the passenger terminal building near a food concession outlet.
Seven individuals in the vicinity sustained injuries and were attended to immediately and all of them are in stable condition.
NNIC general manager Lito Alvarez said the NNIC’s medical team, airport security personnel and the PNP- Aviation Security Group responded at once, secured the area and assisted those affected.
The area, he added, was immediately cordoned off and NNIC’s engineering team has since inspected the surrounding section and confirmed that it is safe for normal operations.
Alvarez stated that investigations are ongoing to determine the cause of the incident. NNIC is working closely with the relevant authorities and will take the necessary action based on the findings.
He also assured that the NNIC continues to provide all necessary assistance to those involved.
“The safety and well-being of passengers, airport workers and visitors remain its top priority. Further updates will be provided as more information becomes available,” he added.
