NAIA terminal fees increase for international and domestic passengers

Starting September 14, 2025, passengers departing Ninoy Aquino International Airport (NAIA) will pay higher terminal fees, the first adjustment in two decades.

International travelers will now pay P950, an increase from P550, while domestic passengers will pay P300, up from P200, with these Passenger Service Charges excluding overseas Filipino workers.

The fee increase is mandated under Manila International Airport Authority Administrative Order No. 1, Series of 2024, with the Department of Transportation approving the rates and the Asian Development Bank serving as adviser.

The Manila International Airport Authority (MIAA) is proceeding with the mandated fee hike despite calls for a delay.

The New Naia Infra Corp. (NNIC), undertaking airport modernization, asserts that NAIA's new terminal fees remain competitive compared to other major airports in neighboring Asian countries.

However, Catholic bishops and airport workers have urged NNIC to suspend the implementation, criticizing the increase as unjust and a burden on ordinary Filipinos.

NNIC also stated that the new fees align with those of other Philippine airports like Cebu and Davao.
