Ninoy Aquino International Airport (NAIA /ˌnɑː.ˈiː.ə/ NAH-EE-ə; Filipino: Paliparang Pandaigdig ng Ninoy Aquino; IATA: MNL, ICAO: RPLL), also known as Manila Airport or Manila International Airport (MNL), is the main international airport serving Metro Manila in the Philippines. Located between the cities of Pasay and Parañaque, about 7 kilometers (4.3 mi) south of Manila proper and southwest of Makati, it is the main gateway for travelers to the Philippines. It serves as a hub for Philippine Airlines and its regional subsidiary PAL Express. It is also the main operating base for Cebu Pacific, and Philippines AirAsia.

In 2024, NAIA served more than 50 million passengers, 47% more than the previous year and an all-time record high, making it the busiest airport in the Philippines, the 17th busiest in Asia, and the 38th busiest in the world.[6] The airport is operating beyond its designed capacity of 35 million passengers, clogging air traffic and delaying flights.[7] As a result, it has consistently been cited as one of the world's worst airports.

Two runways here 13/31 at 7379’ and 06/24 at 11.529’.  Lots of arrivals available.  ILS available on runways 06 and 24.  Tower/CTAF frequency is 118.10 however, there are no VATSIM requirements for this airport, so 122.80 may be best.  Terminal 3 is the largest and Terminal 1 handles many international flights.  First on the ground may choose.
