Airconditioning down at pre-departure area of domestic terminal

CEBU, Philippines - Airconditioning at the pre-departure lounge of the domestic terminal of the Mactan Cebu International Airport is down and the inconvenience being experienced by passengers for three weeks now will continue until the “chillers” arrive in September.

MCIA general manager Nigel Paul Villarete yesterday said six air conditioners at the pre-departure area have overheated because of the number of passengers that come and go.

He said the domestic airport can only accommodate 4.5 million but the number of passengers that utilized the pre-departure area of the domestic airport last year reached 6.2 million.

The domestic terminal has a check-in counter area, a pre-departure area, and a pre-terminal area.    - (THE FREEMAN)
