Manila, Oct. 22 -- The Manila International Airport Authority (MIAA) has reduced the number of inbound passengers of international flights it will allow at the Ninoy Aquino International Airport (NAIA) to 2,500 daily, from 3,000 previously.

"Effective today, only 2,500 will be allowed because of the Red Cross' stoppage (of Covid-19 testing charged to PhilHealth)," MIAA Media Affairs Division head, Jess Martinez, told the Philippine News Agency on Thursday.

All passengers of inbound international flights are required to undergo a reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) test upon their arrival at NAIA, even if they have secured a negative RT-PCR test result before boarding their flights, Martinez said.
