However, if an agent fails to do so, a carrier may carry the passenger if it provides the notice prior to boarding. I direct that the measures directed in this order be effective immediately. The Department has decided that the following language, if provided to passengers in written material to be included on or with any U.S.-Manila ticket they may purchase, will meet the obligation to provide notice. The United States Secretary of Transportation has determined that Ninoy Aquino International Airport, Manila, Philippines, does not maintain and administer effective airport security measures. This model language is provided solely for the guidance of carriers and their agents and does not bind them in any way.
Carriers are also free to provide such additional information as they desire.
I am further directing that my determination be published in the Federal Register and that it be displayed prominently at all airports in the United States regularly being served by scheduled air carrier operations. Copies of this order shall be served on the carriers and associations on the attached service list. My determination is based on Federal Aviation Administration assessments that reveal that security measures used at the airport do not meet the standards established by the International Civil Aviation Organization.
