PHThe new operator of the Ninoy Aquino International Airport (NAIA) has received the green light to increase usage fees at the gateway, and could earn P11 billion annually from the collection of passenger service charges (PSC) alone.
Travelers would have to pay more when flying out of the NAIA starting next year, as outlined under the Manila International Airport Authority (MIAA) Revised Administrative Order (AO) 1, Series of 2024.
The New NAIA Infrastructure Corp. (NNIC), led by San Miguel Corp. (SMC), will take over the operations and maintenance of the gateway on Sept. 14.
Its concession will last for 15 years, extendable by 10 years depending on how well it performs.
The AO mandates that the PSC – fees collected from departing passengers – be kept at P550 for international flights and P200 for domestic trips in the first year. The NNIC will receive a share of P348.21 and P165.18, respectively, under these rates.
By October 2025, the PSC will go up by 72 percent to P950 for foreign departures and by 95 percent to P390 for local bookings in the second year. In the process, the NNIC’s share in the PSC will also balloon to P705.4 for international and P334.6 for domestic.
