The Department of Transportation (DOTr) is seeking a new operator to upgrade and maintain the Ninoy Aquino International Airport (NAIA) in the Philippines. The agency, along with Manila International Airport Authority (MIAA), are awaiting approval from the National Economic and Development Board (NEDA) before inviting bids.
Works will involve upgrading the airport’s air traffic control systems and other facilities. The winning bidder will operate the NAIA for a period of 15 years and recover their investments. Airport assets will continue to be owned by the government.
Proposals will be processed based on the public-private partnership (PPP) law. The privatisation process is set to be completed in Q1 of 2024.
