PASAY CITY, 29 November 2023 – Today, the Manila International Airport Authority (MIAA) successfully completed a planned electrical maintenance and upgrading operation at Ninoy Aquino International Airport's (NAIA) Terminal 3.
The maintenance work kicked off as planned, beginning sharply at 12:01 a.m. and wrapping up exactly at 3:00 a.m. The operation involved the necessary upgrade of main unit cables connecting the Meralco and the MIAA main substations. The procedure also included the crucial task of replacing vacuum circuit breakers and protection relays at the main substation, which are integral elements of NAIA Terminal 3’s comprehensive electrical infrastructure.
During the three-hour maintenance period, generator sets were employed to ensure uninterrupted and dependable power supply to critical systems, thereby averting any possible impact on the airport's operational efficiency. The maintenance operation did not cause any flight delays or cancellations.
Bryan Co, the Officer-in-Charge at MIAA, expressed satisfaction at the coordinated execution of the maintenance work. He credited the successful implementation to the sustained cooperation and meticulous planning with the involved parties preceding the scheduled activity.
"We find it heartening that our mission to improve and upgrade Terminal 3’s electrical systems is being carried out in a calculated and well-organized manner, without any disruptions to flight schedules," Co remarked.
He further emphasized, "This level of partnership with Meralco and various stakeholders is what we need and can anticipate as we proceed with the phased power-related maintenance works until December 13."
