Ninoy Aquino International Airport Terminal 3 (NAIA T3) will undergo a scheduled four-hour power interruption on August 8 and 9, according to the Manila International Airport Authority (MIAA).
The interruption, from 7am to 11am, will not affect flight operations.
The temporary shutdown aims to improve reliability at the airport’s Concourse and Roadway 2 Substations, MIAA said. The move will pave the way for the replacement of defective medium voltage power cables and vacuum circuit breakers in two of the T3’s substations.
Affected areas include:
- Air Asia office
- Some lighting and outlets at Boarding Gates 101-112
- Moving walkways and elevators on Levels 2 and 3 of the International side
- Independent air conditioning systems for Boarding Gates 101-112 and passenger boarding bridges
- Ramp offices and food and retail concessionaires on Level 1
Standby generators will be operational at the substations to provide continuous power supply to critical equipment.
The Manila airport authority apologized for the inconvenience as “limited areas” across Levels 1 to 3 of Terminal 3 South Concourse will be affected by the interruption.
“We apologize for the inconvenience due to this scheduled limited power interruption. This is an inevitable consequence of our commitment to rehabilitate and upgrade our T3 electrical systems,” MIAA Officer-in-Charge Bryan Co said.
He assured the public it will “deliver on its promise to complete the electrical systems rehabilitation and upgrade as soon as possible.”
