Following the fire incident that damaged 19 vehicles on Monday, the Manila International Airport Terminal 3 (MIAA) has implemented a smoking ban in the open parking spaces of the Ninoy Aquino International Airport (NAIA).
The open parking space at NAIA Terminal 3, where the fire occurred, is being operated by the concessionaire Philippine Skylanders International (PSI).
"In the spirit of humanitarian consideration and good faith, we shall shoulder all damages incurred by the owners of the vehicles involved," the PSI said in a letter submitted to the MIAA.
MIAA General Manager Eric Ines also ordered the review of the CCTV footage around the area to identify the reason behind the blaze. He also ordered the removal of grasses from the open parking area "so there would not be a repeat of the incident."
Ines also approved recommendations to install portable fire extinguishers in the area and to have security and safety personnel conduct regular patrols.
According to RH Sherwin Alfaro's report on Monday, the fire started at 1 p.m. and was declared fire out at around 2:30 p.m.
