NAIA partners with Collins Aerospace for system modernization, aiming world-class status by Sept 2025

Ninoy Aquino International Airport (NAIA) is partnering with Collins Aerospace to modernize its systems and address congestion issues, aiming for world-class status by September 2025.

Collins Aerospace will introduce a Common Use Passenger Processing System, self-service kiosks, biometric screening, real-time flight information displays, pre-security e-gates, and advanced security measures to streamline passenger processing and enhance safety.

A new Airport Operational Database and Resource Management System will optimize staff deployment and resource allocation, while a Baggage Reconciliation System will track luggage in real time to reduce lost baggage incidents.

Automated airline billing systems will also be implemented to simplify transactions for airport fees.

Collins Aerospace will deploy an on-site support team at NAIA in May 2025, with core systems operational by August and self-service kiosks, pre-security e-gates, and biometric boarding gates introduced in September 2025.

NNIC President Ramon S. Ang emphasized the long-overdue need for these upgrades to improve traveler experience and transform NAIA into a leading gateway in the region.
