Naia hikes terminal fees for int'l, domestic passengers

The New Naia Infra Corp. (NNIC), operator of the Ninoy Aquino International Airport (Naia), implemented higher terminal fees on Sunday, September 14, 2025, the first adjustment in two decades.

International passengers will now pay P950, an increase from P550, while domestic passengers will be charged P300, up from P200.

The new Passenger Service Charges (PSC) were mandated by Manila International Airport Authority Administrative Order No. 1, Series of 2024, approved by the Department of Transportation, with the Asian Development Bank as an adviser.

These fees will not apply to overseas Filipino workers.

NNIC stated that Naia's terminal fees remain competitive and among the lowest in Asia, aligning with rates in other Philippine airports such as Cebu and Davao.

Despite the increase, Catholic bishops joined airport workers in calling for the suspension of the new rates, deeming them "unjust".
