Serving the Greater Manila Area, Ninoy Aquino International Airport (also known as NAIA) is a commercial airport about 12.5 kilometers south of the city center. It is the gateway to the Philippines for most travelers and hosts airlines such as AirSWIFT, Cebgo, Cebu Pacific, PAL Express, and Philippine Airlines. NAIA also is a primary focus city for Philippines AirAsia. Cebu Pacific and PAL Express operate domestic flights nationwide, while Philippine Airlines is the leading hub carrier connecting Manila to many parts of the globe. NAIA also hosts the 11th longest flight, from New York to Manila, on a PAL A350-900.

This airport consists of two runways; 6/24 and 13/31. Most aircraft prefer the longer 6/24 runway. However, 13/31 can also be used for domestic flights on smaller aircraft, such as the A320 and Dash 8-Q400. In addition, there is a proposed plan for a third runway, which will be constructed beside runway 06/24.
