Philippine Airlines aircraft are seen parked at the runway of the Ninoy Aquino International Airport in Manila on Aug 1, 2014. Designed for 30 million passengers, the number of passengers at the Ninoy Aquino International Airport reached almost 40 million in 2016, Mr Bautista said. The new terminal would be an extension of its terminal in an area where PAL planes are parked. To decongest the Manila airport, PAL is hopeful that another airport will be built near the capital. To address that and lift economic growth, Duterte planned a $180 billion "Build, Build, Build" infrastructure campaign in his six-year term.
