A World Class Mabuhay! (NAIA Terminal 3)



Terminal 3 is built on a 63.5-hectare lot that sits on
Villamor Air Base. The terminal building has a total floor area of 182,500 m2, having a total length of 1.2 kilometers. A 4-level shopping mall connects the terminal and parking buildings. The parking building has a capacity of 2,000 cars while the outdoor parking area has a capacity of 1,200 cars. The terminal is capable of servicing 33,000 passengers daily at peak or 6,000 passengers per hour.




Its apron area has a size of 147,400 m2, 34 air bridges, 20 contact gates with the ability of servicing 28 planes at any given time
. The terminal has 70 flight information terminals, 314 display monitors, with 300 kilometers of fiber optic I.T. cabling. It also has 29 restroom blocks. The departure area has five entrances all equipped with X-ray machines with the final security check having 18 X-ray machines while its baggage claim has 7 large baggage carousels, each with its own flight display monitor. According to opinions of other tourists, if the terminal 3 opens, there would be more airlines to serve the Philippines which will make the economy boost.



Despite of all the controversies attached to this airport. I'm positive that the new facade of our country will attract more investors, tourist and foreign travelers that will make them wow the moment they land on the Philippine soil and more Filipinos will be proud to see were the government spent our Taxes.
