The move, which started in March 2025, is the final phase of transfers in compliance with the Department of Transportation’s Manila Slot Coordination Committee (MSCC) resolution that ordered the gradual transfer of turboprop operations out of NAIA to secondary airports, including CRK, to help decongest the country’s main gateway.
