The Ninoy Aquino International Airport (Filipino: "Paliparang Pandaigdig ng Ninoy Aquino" ) or NAIA , formerly known and still commonly referred to as Manila International Airport (IATA: MNL, ICAO: RPLL) , is the airport serving Manila and its surrounding metropolitan area.

It is managed by the Manila International Airport Authority (MIAA), a branch of the Department of Transportation (DOTr). Air transportation in the Philippines goes back to the early days of aviation prior to World War II, during the American colonial period of the Philippines.  Currently, the Philippines has several registered airline companies, but they are mostly chartered.  There are two main domestic airline groups doing business as Philippine Airlines and Cebu Pacific, with AirAsia Philippines competing on some international routes.  The domestic market is dominated by the Cebu Pacific group which has a 61% market share, followed by the Philippine Airlines group which has 29%, followed by AirAsia, having a 9% share. Philippine Airlines (PAL), a trade name of PAL Holdings, Inc. (PSE: PAL), also known historically (until 1970) as Philippine Air Lines, is the flag carrier of the Philippines.  Headquartered at the PNB Financial Center in Pasay City, the airline was founded in 1941 and is the first and oldest commercial airline in Asia operating under its original name.  Out of its hubs at Ninoy Aquino International Airport of Manila, Clark International Airport of Angeles and Mactan-Cebu International Airport of Cebu, Philippine Airlines serves 31 destinations in the Philippines and 41 overseas destinations in Southeast Asia, East Asia, Middle East, Oceania, North America and Europe.

The airline has been re-branded a number of times, first as Air Philippines, then Airphil Express, and is now known as PAL Express.  After a series of financial losses, Air Philippines ceased operations until it was acquired by investors from Philippine Airlines.  After the acquisition, the airline was re-launched as PAL Express, operating some routes and slot assignments of its sister company Philippine Airlines until management decided to re-brand the carrier as a budget airline known as Airphil Express.  However, in March 2013, the company's CEO announced that the name would be reverted to PAL Express.  As a codeshare partner of Philippine Airlines, PAL Express operates as a full service carrier within a low-cost model.
