MANILA, Philippines — Revenue losses at the Ninoy Aquino International Airport (NAIA) have reached almost P1 billion as of end-April as the country’s aviation industry continues to reel from the effects of the coronavirus disease 2019 or COVID-19 pandemic. “We have already incurred huge losses at our airport. Our last tally as of end of April is almost P1 billion losses in revenue for NAIA,” Manila International Airport Authority (MIAA) general manager Ed Monreal said during the Laging Handa virtual briefing yesterday. In terms of passenger movements per day, Monreal said NAIA averaged about 768 flights per day prior to the pandemic. “I’m really fervently hoping that NAIA would return to its previous state in terms of activity, but it might take some time.
