THE New NAIA Infra Corp. (NNIC) yesterday said it is implementing updated parking rates at the Ninoy Aquino International Airport (NAIA), the first in over a decade.
The new rates took effect yesterday.
NNIC said the adjustments are in line with MIAA Administrative Order 1 series of 2024 and approved through Cabinet Resolution No. 1, series of 2024.
NNIC said the order was issued by the Manila International Airport Authority before NNIC assumed airport operations after a comprehensive review of fees for various regulated airport services.
NNIC said the adjustments are not intended to generate profit but are meant to optimize parking facilities by prioritizing parking for passengers.
NNIC said previous parking rates unintentionally encouraged misuse of the airport’s limited parking spaces. Many individuals, including those from nearby establishments and with no airport-related business, were taking advantage of the low rates for overnight or long-term parking.
NNIC said this created parking shortage for actual passengers, adding to congestion and frustration.
NNIC said the new rates are specifically designed to discourage non-travelers from using the airport for long-term parking and ensure passengers have access to the parking they need, when they need it.
Under the new rates, the first two hours of parking will cost P50, up from P40. NNIC said this is still at par with rates at other commercial establishments.
A 24-hour stay will now cost P1,200 for cars, P480 for motorcycles and P2400 for buses from the old rate of P300 for all vehicles.
NNIC said some existing fixed-rate monthly parking agreements will not be renewed to free up more parking spaces for passengers.
