The Manila International Airport (NAIA; Filipino : Paliparang Pandaigdig na Ninoy Aquino ) is a 1948 Opened international airport in Metro Manila in the Southeast Asian country Philippines . This currently largest airport in the country has the IATA code MNL and the ICAO code RPLL . It is located in the urban area of Pasay City and Parañaque City and is 7 km south of the capital Manila . In 2013, 32,866,599 passengers were handled. The Ninoy Aquino International Airport is thus one of the 50 largest commercial airports in the world.
The airport operator is the Manila International Airport Authority (MIAA) , which belongs to the DOTr Ministry of Transport.
history
The original Manila Airport first opened in Makati in July 1937 . In 1948, two years after the Philippine independence from the USA after the Second World War , it was relocated to its current location. Previously used as an American military base, this airfield has now been converted for civil aviation, initially only with lean equipment. The first runway for international flights was built in 1953, and a tower was built in 1961. The airport was named Manila International Airport (MIA) and was expanded as the main airport in the Philippines in the following years.
Since August 17, 1987 the airport has been called Ninoy Aquino International Airport , named after the Filipino politician Benigno Aquino , who was killed in an assassination attempt at that airport on August 21, 1983, which ultimately led to the EDSA revolution in 1986. Today's Terminal 1 went into operation in 1981. With increasing air traffic and rising passenger numbers, Terminal 2, built between 1995 and 1998, was added in the course of an expansion of the airport, which was put into operation in early 1999. Construction of Terminal 3 began as early as 2000, but this dragged on until 2008, accompanied by technical and security-related difficulties. With this expansion stage, the airport has reached its maximum capacity. A further expansion does not seem possible due to the inner-city location and there are therefore plans that the Clark International Airport , which is about 75 km further north, will be expanded into the main international airport of the Philippines in the long term and replace the Ninoy Aquino International Airport in this role. In July 2019, the Philippine government approved the construction of a new airport in Bulacan for 100-200 million passengers annually with a planned completion in 2025.
Infrastructure
The airport has two runways , each of which is concreted and 3737 and 2258 meters long. In addition to the three older terminals (Terminal 1 and 2, Domestic Terminal), there has been a fourth terminal (NAIA 3) since 2008. This was largely mothballed in 2004 after it was expropriated by the government in the wake of corruption allegations against the project company PIATCO (Philippine International Air Terminals Co.). With a delay of around 4 years, operations were provisionally started in 2008, initially only with domestic flights. Terminal 3 did not go into full normal operation until August 2014. Since then, international flights have also been handled at this terminal.
The old international Terminal 1 has a size of 67,000 m² and was opened in 1981. It was initially designed for a capacity of 4.5 million passengers per year. After this capacity limit had already been reached in 1991, the terminal was expanded and the capacity increased to 6 million. Terminal 1 has 16 gates , 78 check-in counters and is used for international flights by foreign airlines.
The Terminal 2 , mostly Centennial Terminal called, has m² size of 75,000. Centennial is in English for centenary and plays in this context to the completion of the terminal in 1998, exactly 100 years after gaining independence of the Philippines from Spanish colonial power. This terminal with a capacity of 9 million passengers per year is used exclusively by Philippine Airlines . International flights are handled in the north wing of the V-shaped terminal and domestic flights are handled in the south wing. The airport tower is located directly in front of Terminal 2, surrounded by a car parking lot.
The rest of the domestic traffic of other Philippine airlines is handled at the separate Domestic Terminal , which is officially called Terminal 4 and is the oldest terminal at the airport. This terminal dates back to the beginning of the airport in 1948 and was the only terminal at the airport until Terminal 1 opened in 1998. It has 26 check-in counters, but has no gates with direct access to the aircraft. You can get on and off at the parking positions on the airfield in front of the terminal.
The newest Terminal 3 is currently used for international flights by All Nippon Airways , Cebu Pacific , Cathay Pacific , Delta Air , KLM , Emirates , PAL Express , Turkish Airlines , Singapore Airlines , United Airlines , Qantas and Qatar Airways . It is the airport's largest terminal, has 140 check-in counters and 20 boarding gates and thus offers a capacity of 13 million passengers per year.
The Frankfurt airport operator Fraport was involved in the construction of Terminal 3 at Manila Airport through a stake in the Philippine company PIATCO, whereby the Supreme Court of the Philippines subsequently declared the contract null and void due to allegations of corruption against PIATCO, which led to the project's case. Fraport then made use of state guarantees from the federal government and sued the Philippine government for damages . In the first instance, Fraport was defeated by the Philippine government before an arbitration tribunal of the ICC International Chamber of Commerce in Singapore . In the second instance, the case has now been heard by ICSID in Washington, DC . In February 2013, the German Foreign Minister Guido Westerwelle visited the Philippines with a selection of business representatives. It was the first official visit by a German delegation to the Philippines for over 10 years. During the talks, the German government representatives once again urged an early settlement of the NAIA-3 conflict, as it had significantly impaired German investments and economic cooperation between the two countries in the previous decade . Fraport continued to demand reimbursement of the investments made in the construction of Terminal 3, but at the same time reaffirmed its interest in investments and cooperation in the Philippines, provided this still smoldering conflict is resolved. In February 2015, the ICSID decided in favor of Fraport. However, the case was still pending in Filipino courts. On October 11, 2016, Fraport AG announced on its website that the Philippine government had complied with the ruling of the highest court in the Philippines of September 8, 2015, which had become final in April 2016, and had paid compensation to the project company PIACTO , of which an amount of 270 million US dollars was attributable to Fraport AG. In return, Fraport AG sold its shares in the Filipino companies and declared that it would no longer assert any further claims. Fraport AG has to pay 40 million of the inflow to the federal government for a payment received in 2008 with a federal guarantee for capital investments abroad (GAK).

Airlines and Destinations
In addition to domestic flights, routes to numerous destinations in Asia are offered. There are isolated connections to Africa, Europe, North America and the Middle East. There are currently (2020) no flights to destinations in German-speaking countries or to the DA-CH countries in general .
Airport tax
The 2014 airport fee in Manila was PHP 200 for domestic flights and PHP 750 for international flights. In contrast to many other countries, in the Philippines this fee is not levied when purchasing the flight ticket, but must be paid in cash by the traveler at the airport before departure.
Since February 1, 2015, however, the NAIA airport fee has been charged or paid directly when purchasing a ticket. There is therefore no need to pay cash at the airport. This regulation does not apply to other international airports in the Philippines, such as B. Clark or Mactan.
Incidents
- On June 2, 1958 broke at a Boeing 377 of the US Pan American World Airways ( air vehicle registration N1023V ) during landing at the airport Manila the chassis together.

One of the 57 occupants was killed when a propeller blade struck the passenger cabin. The aircraft was totaled.
- On July 25, 1971, the pilots of a Boeing 707-321C of Pan American World Airways (N461PA) on approach to Manila Airport fell below the minimum altitude and flew at just 770 meters against Mount Kamunay, 32 kilometers away. The three members of the flight crew of the cargo plane died in the impact.
- On February 27, 1980, a Boeing 707-309C of the Taiwanese China Airlines (B-1826) crashed while landing at Manila Airport when it touched down in front of the runway and caught fire. Out of 135 inmates, 2 were killed in this incident.
- On May 11, 1990, the middle tank of a Boeing 737-300 (EI-BZG) operated by Philippine Airlines (EI-BZG) exploded before take-off in Manila . The machine burned out before it could be completely cleared. Of the 120 people on board, 8 were killed (see also Philippine Airlines flight 143 ) .
