AirAsia and Royal Air move to Centennial Terminal

DOMESTIC travelers take note. Beginning July 1, 2023, the Ninoy Aquino International Airport (NAIA) Terminal 2 is finally serving its original purpose of being a domestic passenger terminal with AirAsia Philippines and Royal Air Philippines sharing space with flag carrier Philippine Airlines (PAL).

Built in 1999, the NAIA Terminal 2 which is also known as the Centennial Terminal, was designed by Aeroports de Paris to handle 9 million domestic passengers annually. Prior to its opening, however, PAL was able to negotiate with the government for them to use it as an exclusive hub for both their domestic and international operations, decreasing the terminal's passenger handling capacity considerably.
