Low-cost carrier Cebu Pacific is constructing a 2.5-hectare aircraft parking bay at the Ninoy Aquino International Airport (NAIA) to help improve traffic in other terminal bays in the country’s congested air hub.

Cebu Pacific and NAIA operator Manila International Airport Authority (MIAA) on June 15 broke ground at the 2.5-hectare aircraft parking bay in NAIA’s South General Aviation Area, formerly the Flight Operations Briefing Station.

In a statement, the carrier said once groundwork is completed, the parking bay can accommodate about four to six Airbus A320-family aircraft, helping ease crowding at other terminal bays in the airport.
