-
Awaiting deadline 75% Standard Operational Compliance
CAAP and DOT successfully manage the Undas traffic surge without major disruptions. Airports adhere to heightened security protocols, and passenger flows remain within manageable limits due to proactive staffing.
Watch for: A news headline reports 'No significant flight delays reported during Undas peak period' · The Civil Aviation Authority issues a post-event press release stating 'Operations normal; no security incidents recorded'
-
Awaiting deadline 15% Localized Disruption Due to Weather
Severe weather or technical failures at specific regional airports cause localized cancellations and delays. While national operations continue, travelers face significant inconvenience in the affected areas.
Watch for: Headline: 'Typhoon X causes flight cancellations at Clark Airport' · CAAP statement: 'Flight delays due to weather conditions affecting domestic routes'
-
Awaiting deadline 8% Security Incident or Public Safety Alert
A minor security lapse (e.g., luggage mix-up, minor altercation) triggers a public safety concern. Authorities tighten protocols further for the remaining days of the holiday.
Watch for: Headline: 'Passenger altercation at Manila Airport prompts stricter screening' · CAAP statement: 'Temporary increase in security personnel deployed at major hubs following incident'
-
Awaiting deadline 2% Overreaction to Security Concern
An unverified threat leads CAAP to temporarily halt operations or impose strict curfews at major airports. This causes widespread confusion and significant passenger delays across the country.
