Temperatures at the Ninoy Aquino International Airport (NAIA) Terminal 3 have returned to “comfortable” levels following repairs of its air conditioning system, the Manila International Airport Authority (MIAA) announced Saturday.
The repairs to the malfunctioning chillers were completed at 6:30 p.m. on Friday, according to the MIAA.
MIAA spokesperson Atty. Chris Noel Bendijo reported that several areas of Terminal 3 are now at the ideal airport terminal temperature of 23 degrees Celsius, while other areas are at 24 degrees Celsius, which is considered “comfortable.”
The NAIA Terminal 3 engineering team confirmed that all chillers were operating as intended, with a further decrease in temperature expected in the coming hours.
Atty. Bendijo added that on Friday, the MIAA temporarily shut down chillers 1, 2, and 4 as a preventive measure due to excessive operating temperatures. The cooling system is being closely monitored to maintain stable temperatures.
