May 11, 2006 | 12:00am
Passengers of Air Philippines will be enjoying the comfort enjoyed by Philippine Airlines (PAL) customers when it starts operating at the Ninoy Aquino International Airport (NAIA) Terminal II or the Centennial Terminal starting next week.
Beginning Tuesday, May 16, all flights of Air Philippines will be departing from and arriving at the NAIA Terminal II, previously the exclusive domain of PAL.
PAL and Air Philippines are both controlled by beer and tobacco magnate Lucio Tan.
This was disclosed by NAIA Terminal Operations officer-in-charge Dante Basante yesterday who said that the transfer aims to decongest the old Manila Domestic Airport and at the same time maximize the capacity of NAIA Terminal II.
According to Basanta, the move will result in added convenience for passengers with the use of aerobridges.
"Air Philippines passengers will no longer be exposed to the weather as the T2 aerobridges can connect to all of their airplanes." Basanta said.
Air Philippines has a fleet of five Boeing 737-200 series jets that can carry 118 passengers.
The air carrier services major routes including Bacolod, Cagayan, Cebu, Davao, Dumaguete, General Santos, Iloilo, Legaspi, Puerto Princesa, Tuguegarao and Zamboanga.
