    A five-hour power outage at the Ninoy Aquino International Airport (Naia) Terminal 3 over the weekend canceled 82 domestic flights and delayed 79 international and local flights as of 3 p.m. on Sunday, affecting more than 15,000 passengers.
    Affected passengers and netizens said the incident once again highlighted the incompetence of the airport management and Transportation Secretary Joseph Emilio Abaya.
    Others wondered why Naia 3 didn’t have an uninterruptible power supply.

    NAIA allegedly tried to blame meralco,they got there at 1pm and checked their transformer and all was well! Also allegedly it was due to lack of maintenance on one of the large generators.

    I'd bet money they do have one. I think the operational status of it is quite apparent though. :wink:

    Just look at the state of any motor on the road jp,no one ever services anything here and preventative measures are non existent. I should imagine nothing is any different and any airport here either.

    According to newspapers a substation blew up. I think they meant a switchboard. With no switchboard no power wether or not they had a ups or generator. There is not much they can do in that case.

    Of course if it is installed and sized properly there should never be a problem.
