The Manila International Airport Authority (MIAA) reported on Thursday that a chartered flight under investigation for possible involvement in human trafficking had received the appropriate permissions, including the help of the Airport Police Department (APD).

On Monday night, the aircraft owned by Cloud Nine No. 1 Leasing Company Ltd with the registration number and callsign N9527E departed for Dubai.

According to a statement from MIAA Senior Assistant General Manager Bryan Co, Globan Aviation Corporation’s written request enabled APD to help a number of cars approaching the ramp.

“The aid of the APD was carried out in accordance with routine operational protocols, which called for APD patrol cars to escort vehicles to the Aircraft Movement Area without blinkers and without a permit provided by the MIAA (AMA). The MIAA issues AMA Permits each year for use on its official vehicles as well as those of the airlines and other airport operators operating in this restricted area of the NAIA “Added he.

Following a request by PNP Aviation Security Group NCR chief PCol Rhoderick Campo, who claimed that there were irregularities in the handling of the flight, authorities are currently looking into the chartered flight.

According to Co, the flight received permissions from the MIAA for ramp entrance of cars that brought the passengers to the ramp, the PNP-ASG for the aircraft exit clearance, and the Civil Aviation Authority of the Philippines (CAAP) for entry-exit clearance.

The Bureau of Immigration handled all passenger processing and clearance on-site, he continued.

According to him, the MIAA would keep looking into the matter without stopping until “insinuations that folks are being taken out of the nation covertly without going through mandatory pre-departure formalities” have been disproved.

The MIAA gave the public its word that the matter would still be under investigation.

It said, “The MIAA shall continue the investigation, leaving no stone unturned, to debunk allegations that persons are being transported out of the nation covertly without complying with the pre-departure protocols.

BI Commissioner Norman Tansingco noted that charter flights fall under the category of unique flights, wherein passengers are instead inspected close to the aircraft rather than processed in the immigration area.

He claimed that the administration of BI Ninoy Aquino International Airport (NAIA) Terminal 1 had been contacted for a first verification of the occurrence.

There were 10 people on board the aforementioned aircraft, according to the initial report. The manifest listed seven passengers and three crew members, according to Tansingco. “All underwent invasive inspections and complied with immigration requirements.”

He continued by saying that an immigration officer was also tasked with taking care of and processing the passengers in the aforementioned airplane.

Immigration officials described the BI’s role in processing departing persons at an emergency meeting held by the Office of Transportation Security. The BI is only one of many organizations that examine special planes as they take off and land. Other government offices handle permits for security, health, duties, and other things.

According to Tansingco, “The entrance of other people inside the airport premises does not fall under the jurisdiction of the BI.” “Our personnel strictly adhere to the official General Declaration when processing travelers.”

Ramp access is only granted to immigration officers, together with quarantine and customs agents, for special flights. Other than on flights with the president, they are also randomly assigned.

It was suggested at the aforementioned discussion to establish a single-stop processing facility to standardize border clearance procedures.

“The BI strongly endorses this initiative and is committed to working with local law enforcement to combat human trafficking. According to a BI news release, the agency “appreciates any tip that would lead to interceptions of attempted trafficking.

Senators demanded an inquiry on Wednesday into the flight at the NAIA involving a private plane that was reportedly being utilized for people trafficking.

Senator Grace Poe said during her statement under privilege that the PNP-ASG had received a warning about possible human trafficking activity involving the Monday charter flight to Dubai.

Poe said, “The general declaration for the flight listed three crew and six passengers; nevertheless, there were seven passengers—one each from Malaysia, Korea, China, Vanuatu, and Saint Kitts and Nevis—all with various forms of visas.”
