“Several domestic flights departing Manila are being crammed during the daytime because of the inability of many provincial airports to receive flights at night. The lawmaker said provincial airports unable to operate at night also have to send out all their Manila-bound flights during the day. At present, Campos added, only 19 of the country’s 42 airports are able to receive and dispatch night flights. “The 19 will increase to 27, once the eight airports have been set up for round-the-clock operations,” he said. “There’s no question that air travel around the country will be easier for everybody, including foreign tourists, once we get all our airports running at night to maximize their operations,” according to Campos.
