The Ninoy Aquino International Airport (NAIA) on Tuesday began collecting higher parking fees.

An internal memo, dated September 30, shows that NNIC has increased parking rates as follows, effective October 1:

4-wheel vehicles: P40 for the first 3 hours, P15 for every succeeding hour

Buses and trucks: P100 for the first 3 hours, P20 for every succeeding hour

Motorcycle: P15 for the first 3 hours, P5 for every succeeding hour

Meanwhile, overnight rates took almost a 400% increase from P300 for all vehicles to P1,200 for cars, P480 for motorcycles, and P2,400 for buses.

The New NAIA Infrastructure Corporation (NNIC) said they increased parking fees to prioritize passengers in the main gateway’s limited parking spaces. NNIC said the lower 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. This created parking shortage for actual passengers, adding to congestion and frustration,” the NNIC said.

“The new rates are specifically designed to discourage non-travelers from using the airport for long-term parking and ensure that passengers have access to the parking they need, when they need it,” the operator added.

The NNIC also said that by discouraging long-term and overnight parking, the new rates will reduce the number of vehicles circling the airport to search for spaces, thereby easing traffic flow. It stressed that the adjustments are not intended to generate profit.

“While the previous rates may have been convenient for some, they created significant disadvantages for travelers,” it noted.
