Ninoy Aquino International Airport
The Ninoy Aquino International Airport, also known as Manila International Airport or Nichols Field, is located on the border between Pasay and Parañaque cities, serving Manila and its surrounding areas. It is the main international gateway to the Philippines and functions as a hub for several airlines. Managed by the Manila International Airport Authority, it is the primary airport of Manila, although Clark International Airport also serves the area. There have been discussions about Clark eventually replacing NAIA as the main airport. The airport is named after Senator Benigno “Ninoy” Aquino, Jr., who was assassinated there in 1983. In 2018, it handled record-breaking annual passenger traffic, and plans for new airports in Bulacan and Cavite are proposed to alleviate congestion and serve the region.
