Ninoy Aquino International Airport (NAIA /ˌnɑː.ˈiː.ə/ NAH-EE-ə; Filipino: Paliparang Pandaigdig ng Ninoy Aquino; IATA: MNL, ICAO: RPLL), also known as Manila International Airport (MIA), is the main international airport serving Metro Manila in the Philippines. Located between the cities of Pasay and Parañaque, about 7 kilometers (4.3 mi) south of Manila proper and southwest of Makati, it is the main gateway for travelers to the Philippines and serves as a hub for PAL Express and Philippine Airlines. It is also the main operating base for AirSWIFT, Cebgo, Cebu Pacific, and Philippines AirAsia.
Manila International Airport was officially renamed for former Philippine senator Benigno "Ninoy" Aquino Jr.,[5] who was assassinated at the airport on August 21, 1983. NAIA is managed by the Manila International Airport Authority (MIAA), an agency of the Department of Transportation (DOTr).[6] It is currently operated by the New NAIA Infrastructure Corporation (NNIC), a subsidiary of San Miguel Corporation.
Both NAIA and Clark International Airport in Clark Freeport Zone, Pampanga, serve the Greater Manila Area. Clark caters mainly to low-cost carriers because its landing fees have been lower ever since former president Gloria Macapagal Arroyo called for Clark to replace NAIA as the Philippines' primary airport.[7] NAIA is operating beyond its designed capacity of 35 million passengers, clogging air traffic and delaying flights.[8] As a result, it has consistently been cited as one of the world's worst airports.[9][10][11][12] In response, a private consortium has been overseeing the airport's operation and rehabilitation since September 14, 2024.[13] Two nearby construction projects meant to reduce congestion at NAIA are also underway: one being the New Manila International Airport in Bulakan, Bulacan and the other being to upgrade Sangley Point Airport in Cavite City into an international airport.[14]
In 2024, NAIA served more than 50 million passengers, 47% more than the previous year and an all-time record high, making it the busiest airport in the Philippines, the 17th busiest in Asia, and the 38th busiest in the world.[15]
