MANILA — The Manila International Airport Authority (MIAA) has formally transferred more than 2,100 closed-circuit television (CCTV) cameras installed throughout the Ninoy Aquino International Airport (NAIA) to New NAIA Infra Corp. (NNIC), marking another step in the transition of airport operations to the private concessionaire.
The turnover took place on Friday, November 6, 2026, in compliance with the provisions of the NAIA Public-Private Partnership (PPP) Concession Agreement.
Department of Transportation (DOTr) Secretary Vince Dizon witnessed the transfer, together with MIAA Senior Assistant General Manager Ma. Lourdes S. J. Reyes and NNIC Executive Assistant to the President and CEO Cesar M. Chiong.
The transfer of operational control is part of NNIC’s assumption of the airport’s operations and maintenance responsibilities under the concession agreement.
Despite the turnover, MIAA will retain its regulatory and oversight authority over NAIA, including monitoring NNIC’s compliance with contractual obligations, performance standards, and service quality requirements.
The airport authority said it would continue coordinating with the DOTr, NNIC, and other stakeholders to safeguard the welfare of passengers, airport workers, and everyone using the country’s main international gateway.
