With airlines opening new routes to Manila, like EVA Air\u2019s Dallas to Manila<\/a><\/span>, and Qatar Airways\u2019 Doha to Manila, a second international airport in the Philippine capital is a pressing need of the coming days<\/strong>. The Philippines being one of the visa-free countries for US visa holders and Green Cardholders, airlines are increasing weekly numbers of flights to Manila from USA<\/a><\/span> and other countries. The New Manila International Airport (NMIA) in Bulacan is a right investment given the future projection of tourist inflows into the Philippines.\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Manila\u2019s second international airport in Bulacan province<\/strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Significantly larger than Ninoy Aquino International Airport, Manila\u2019s second airport NMIA project would cost US $15 billion. The construction of the first terminal building is scheduled to begin in January 2026, with the first phase being anticipated to be operational in late 2028. Given the NMIA project details<\/strong>, the upcoming airport in Bulacan, 30 minutes north of Manila, is expected to the Philippines\u2019 main gateway to the world in the future.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Manila Bulacan International Airport Infrastructure \u00a0<\/strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/h3>\n

The new Manila International Airport<\/a><\/strong> will be more advanced than Ninoy Aquino Airport in terms of area, runways, passenger capacity, and accessibility. NMIA would spread over 2500 hectares (6200 acres) along the Manila Bay, as part of the 12,000-hectare airport city project in Bulacan province. The second Manila airport project details include 4 parallel runways with the capacity to expand to six in the future.<\/p>\n

Second Manila Airport NMIA Project Timeline<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Bulacan International Airport, Manila will be constructed in a phased way starting January 2026. As per the NMIA project timeline, the first phase is expected to open with one terminal and two runways by late 2028 aiming to serve 35 million passengers a year, if things go as planned. On completion of all phases, the airport would have the capacity to handle 100 million passenger traffic in a year.<\/p>\n

Philippines New Manila Airport Connectivity<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Philippines\u2019 New Manila International Airport will not only cater to Metro Manila but also neighboring areas like Central Luzon and CALABARZON. A comprehensive accessibility network comprising a 6-lane Expressway will facilitate commute between Metro Manila and the upcoming airport in Bulacan. There are plans to extend Manila Metro\u2019s 7 Line to the airport for a great deal of convenience.<\/p>\n

For decades, Ninoy Aquino International Airport (NAIA) has been the primary gateway for flights to Philippines from the US<\/a><\/span>, Europe, the Middle East, and Asian countries<\/strong>. In 2024 itself, NAIA served 50.1 million passengers; the overcapacity burdens the airport infrastructure. Manila\u2019s second international airport will not only share the passenger traffic but also open more international routes to\/from Manila. With two international airports \u2013 NAIA and NMIA, the Philippine capital would become a premier destination for travel and trade.<\/p>\n
