The domestic flights of PAL started operating on NAIA Terminal 3, alongside AirAsia's domestic terminal.
PAL already issued an advisory on June 9 on their Facebook page and the next day on their official website.
As part of the advisory, PAL urged their on-boarding passengers to arrive four hours before their scheduled departure for international flights and at least three hours before departure for domestic flights.
According to the airline company, this will give the passengers enough time for immigration and security checks.
To check the international flight status, PAL advises its passengers to check their flight status on philippineairlines.com.
These reassignments are based on the Schedule and Terminal Assignment Rationalization program of the Manila International Airport Authority (MIAA), which sees the capacity of Terminal 2 increasing from 7.5 million to 10 million passengers a year.
MIAA also started moving the terminals for other airline companies since April of this year.
