 Operations on the first day of the airport 's commercial activity ran smoothly , although a baggage conveyor belt and X @-@ ray machines malfunctioned due to a sudden surge in passengers trying to catch their early morning flights . Some tension marred the airport 's first day after baggage porters who worked at the old airport insisted on working at the new airport . The ATO , DOTC and the porters have since agreed to a closed @-@ door conference and later on to refer the problem to DOTC Assistant Secretary Red Kapunan , the person in charge of international airports in the Philippines .
