Cebu Pacific said Thursday said it teamed up with the Manila International Airport Authority (MIAA) to deploy mobile lightning shelters at the Ninoy Aquino International Airport (NAIA) Terminal 3.
The installation will strengthen Cebu Pacific’s operational resiliency and ensure the safety of passengers and airport ground personnel in the event of a red lightning alert (RLA).
Cebu Pacific said it would also install five units of lightning shelters, including two that have been deployed at the terminal’s remote parking bay and one at ramp 2. The airline expects to complete the installation of all lightning shelter units by end-April.
“Our lightning shelters and wireless headsets don’t only mitigate the impact of lightning alerts on our operations, but they also help safeguard the welfare of NAIA ground personnel during the monsoon season,” said Lei Apostol, Cebu Pacific vice president for customer service operations.
