NAIA Terminal 4 Shuts Down for Major Overhaul Starting November 4!
NAIA – Terminal 4 of Ninoy Aquino International Airport (NAIA) will be closed for renovations starting November 4.
NAIA’s Terminal 4, the oldest in the airport complex, will temporarily close for renovations starting on November 4, 2024, and remain closed until February 2025. The closure will allow for significant upgrades, focusing on enhancing safety, streamlining traffic flow, and improving passenger comfort and efficiency.
New NAIA Infra Corp., the organization responsible for the airport’s infrastructure, highlighted the renovation’s importance in a statement. “Our goal is to make Terminal 4 more comfortable and efficient for travelers. While there may be some temporary disruptions, we appreciate the public’s understanding and patience as we work to deliver these much-needed improvements,” the company said.
During the renovation period, flights normally operating from Terminal 4 will be moved to Terminal 2. This affects CebGo, which runs 36 daily flights, AirSwift with 12 daily flights, and Sunlight Air with 2 daily flights. Passengers using these airlines will need to head to Terminal 2 for their flights during this time.
Terminal 4 handles approximately 2,900 passengers daily—split between 1,400 arrivals and 1,500 departures—making up around 2.23 percent of NAIA’s total daily traffic. The upgrades are intended to align the terminal with modern standards, easing congestion and enhancing the overall travel experience.
Although passengers may face some disruptions during the renovation, the long-term improvements will include increased safety, more efficient operations, and upgraded facilities. These enhancements are designed to accommodate the growing number of travelers using NAIA. Authorities are asking the public to be patient and cooperate with the temporary changes.
Once completed, the renovation of Terminal 4 is expected to play a key role in NAIA’s broader modernization efforts, improving its capacity to handle more passengers and elevating its status as a key gateway to the Philippines.
