BIZ BUZZ: Request granted: More free Wi-Fi hours at Naia

Passengers at Ninoy Aquino International Airport (Naia) can now use free Wi-Fi for three hours, an hour longer than the previous two-hour limit.

In addition, they no longer need to provide personal information to access the internet services, which was a hassle anyway.

This is a welcome development for travelers who need to stay connected while waiting for their flights or filling out online forms.

New Naia Infra Corp. (NNIC) said the average internet speed at Naia terminals clocks in at 50 to 60 megabits per second (Mbps) and peaks at 115 Mbps.

The San Miguel-led group teamed up with PLDT Inc. and its wireless unti Smart Communications, as well as Converge ICT Solutions Inc., for the free high-speed internet service.

“Whether it’s for completing online travel requirements, accessing information, staying connected with loved ones, or simply browsing social media, good internet access is essential at any modern international airport,” NNIC said.
