Passenger traffic at the Ninoy Aquino International Airport (NAIA) is set to rise over the Holy Week period but at a more moderate pace as disruptions in Middle East routes weigh on travel demand.

Ninoy Aquino International Airport (NAIA) posted its biggest-ever monthly surge in January 2026, showing a privatized airport handling record demand with steady operations.
Passenger traffic at NAIA reached 52.02 million for the year, marking the highest annual total ever recorded for the airport, according to a statement released on Thursday, Jan. 1, 2026, by New NAIA Infra Corp., the private operator of the facility.
New NAIA Infra Corp. (NNIC) is rolling out new passenger systems and amenities at Ninoy Aquino International Airport (NAIA) Terminal 3, headlined by biometric immigration e-Gates designed to speed up clearance, alongside two new food halls and a dignitaries lounge as part of continuing airport upgrades.
The airline executives were clear: NAIA improvements help, but the true long-term solution is the new San Miguel airport in Bulacan. Lao called it the “next game changer,” noting its planned capacity of up to one hundred million passengers per year.
The Ninoy Aquino International Airport in Manila will switch on new biometric immigration eGates this December as the San Miguel Corp.-backed New NAIA Infra Corp. (NNIC) moves to ease immigration congestion ahead of peak holiday travel.
