MANILA, Philippines — The Civil Aviation Authority of the Philippines (Caap) said on Tuesday that it has intensified its “operational readiness” across all 44 agency-managed airports to address the expected surge in passenger traffic during the holiday rush.

In a statement, Caap said these measures were in line with the Department of Transportation’s “Oplan Biyaheng Ayos: Pasko 2024,” which would be implemented from Dec. 20 to Jan. 3.

Caap Director General Manuel Antonio Tamayo said. Caap reminded travelers to follow regulations to avoid delays, including rules on prohibited items; monitor belongings at all times; avoid making bomb jokes, which can result in flight disruptions and severe legal consequences; and plan trips ahead of time.
