NAIA terminal fee hikes from P550 to P750

Passengers at the Ninoy Aquino International Airport (NAIA) will soon be asked to pay higher terminal fee soon, the Manila International Airport Authority (MIAA) confirmed on Friday, November 9.

The overseas Filipino workers are still exempted from paying terminal fees amid the planned hike.

Manila International Airport Authority (MIAA) Media Affairs Division head, Jess Martinez, said that the terminal fee hike has no final date yet. Martinez said that the hike will be used for improving NAIA and its services.

“We target to have this by the second quarter of 2019, but no assurance if this would materialize by that time, since it has to undergo some processes,” Martinez said.

The current PHP550 terminal fee for international flights would be raised to PHP750, while the PHP200 terminal fee for domestic flights would be PHP300.

MIAA General Manager Ed Monreal earlier said the terminal fee hike would contribute at least 1 percent to NAIA’s gross revenues. MIAA is expecting a deficit in NAIA’s revenues in the next five years if terminal fees would not increase.
