‼️‼️‼️Important Update on Turboprop Flights:
To enhance airport efficiency and reduce congestion, the Philippine government has initiated a plan to relocate turboprop flights from NAIA to secondary airports, primarily Clark International Airport (CRK). This transition began on March 30, 2025, with approximately 30% of turboprop operations moving to Clark. By October 26, 2025, all turboprop flights are expected to be fully relocated. 
Airlines Affected:
• Cebu Pacific’s Cebgo: Flights to destinations like Siargao and Masbate have been moved from NAIA to Clark International Airport. 
• Philippine Airlines’ PAL Express: Turboprop operations are also transitioning to Clark by October 2025. 
Recommendations for Travelers:
• Stay Informed: Always check with your airline for the latest updates on terminal assignments and flight operations, especially with the relocation of turboprop flights to Clark International Airport.
• Allow Extra Travel Time: Be mindful of potential changes in departure and arrival airports. If your flight departs from Clark, consider the additional travel time from Metro Manila.
• Verify Flight Details: Confirm terminal information and flight schedules closer to your travel date to ensure a seamless experience.
Safe travels! Pack light, stay kind, and enjoy the journey!
