NAIA Domestic And International Terminal Fees To Rise In 2025 Under Rehab Plan



The Ninoy Aquino International Airport (NAIA) will implement terminal fee adjustments starting September 2025, under its new management led by the New NAIA Infra Corp. (NNIC).


In an advisory released on September 25, NNIC confirmed that domestic terminal fees will rise from P200 to P390, while international flight fees will increase from P550 to P950. The adjustments were made following a comparison with international standards, in coordination with the Department of Transportation (DOTr) and the Asian Development Bank (ADB).


NNIC emphasized that the fee changes were determined by the government and ADB, as part of the Public-Private Partnership project, stating that "NNIC has no hand in setting the fee adjustments." The corporation added that 88.16% of the revenues generated from these fees will go to the government.


"NAIA fees have not changed in over 20 years, hindering its modernization and aiding its decline," the advisory said. The increased fees will contribute to the airport’s rehabilitation, aiming to enhance the overall passenger experience. Notably, Overseas Filipino Workers (OFWs) will continue to be exempt from paying international departure fees.


NNIC also announced plans to invest at least P170 billion into NAIA’s rehabilitation, which is expected to generate P1 trillion in government revenues. Despite the changes, the government will retain full ownership of the airport and its new facilities.


The airport’s management transition to a San Miguel-led consortium was completed on September 14, with gradual upgrades planned, including improved passenger processing systems, baggage handling, Wi-Fi enhancements, and increased capacity to accommodate up to 62 million passengers annually.


Further terminal reassignment plans are under consideration, but no specific dates have been confirmed yet.
