The Manila International Airport Authority has launched an improved shuttle services to ferry both airport passengers and Ninoy Aquino International Airport (NAIA) employees from NAIA Terminal 3 to other NAIA Terminals through the cooperation of various private organizations, and to various stops in Parañaque and Pasay City and back to Terminal 3.

This is a part of the services we are giving for the public as well as our own employees. The airport authority deemed it best to give our people a more convenient and decent, efficient and affordable service in and out of NAIA , MIAA General Manager Alfonso Cusi said.

The Terminal 3 shuttle service loop has two routes. The first route includes stops at Baclaran then MRT station in Taft Ave. then in Tramo and back to Terminal 3. In the second route, from Terminal 3 the next stop is at the Old Domestic Airport then to NAIA Terminal 1 going straight to Centennial Terminal 2 then back to Terminal 3. The shuttle service uses Vans and Mini-bus units. The operations start from 5 a.m. to 11 p.m. on a daily basis.

Both routes collect twenty pesos (P20.00) for airline passengers and fifteen pesos (P15.00) for NAIA employees regardless of destination.

Aside from the Airport Metered Taxis and Accredited Transportation Units, we are giving our airport-users another option as far as land transportation is concerned. This goes without saying that MIAA and NAIA services go beyond outside the doors of its Terminals. As a service-oriented institution, we are happy to launch this project taking consideration to passengers and non-passengers comfort even outside our premises, TG Serrano, AGM for Airport Development and Corporate Affairs said.

In earlier occasions, NAIA had disclosed plans of constructing new mass transport systems such as monorail systems that will pave the way to greater and faster modes of transportation.
