Talks between MIAA and Grab Philippines began September, with MIAA expecting a rise in passenger traffic this holiday season
The Manila International Airport Authority (MIAA) has tapped Grab Philippines to boost vehicle fleet at the Ninoy Aquino International Airport.
MIAA, in a statement, said it initiated talks with Grab to tap the mobile app to add on to their airport vehicle fleet through a program called “Airport to Anywhere (ATA)”. The program aims to initially deploy a dedicated fleet of 200 Grab-accredited vehicles to service increased demand for transport vehicles in NAIA.
The ATA may be booked through the Grab mobile app with fixed pricing based on drop off location and no surge charges.
NAIA’s monthly passenger volume last month reached 3.1 million, up 229% year-on-year. MIAA expects the trend to be more pronounced starting December 16 when vacationing overseas Filipino workers arrive from abroad.
“We explored this partnership as part of our preparations for the Christmas season. We thank Grab Philippines and the LTFRB for joining hands with us in the interest of our air riding public,” MIAA general manager Cesar Chiong said.
The MIAA-Grab undertaking is expected to address the high demand for airport vehicles this Christmas and at the same time give passengers a wider selection of transport options to choose from.
