Airport workers, civic organizations, and non-government groups asked the Supreme Court (SC) to declare unconstitutional the Ninoy Aquino International Airport (NAIA) Public-Private Partnership (PPP) project.

Airport management was transferred to San Miguel-led New NAIA Infra Corporation (NNIC) that resulted in increase of airport-related fees.

In their 37-page petition, Atty. Kit Belmonte asked the SC to issue a temporary restraining order and a writ of preliminary injunction to prevent the respondents from enforcing the Manila International Airport Authority Administrative Order No. 1 Series of 2024, which granted NNIC charge and collect airport-related fees.

The petitioners also asked the SC to declare the said MIAA administrative order unconstitutional, illegal, void, and of no effect.

Pagkakaisa ng mga Users, Stakeholders, at Obrero ng NAIA or PUSO ng NAIA head secretariat Romeo Sauler said their companies can no longer afford the rent there, they will reduce their workforce there. That is the cause and effect of it.

Sauler believes that even the public will be affected by the project.

According to the petitioners, the domestic passenger service charge or terminal fee is expected to increase from P200 to 390 while the international passenger service charge is expected to increase from P550 to P950.
