Manila International Airport station also known as MIA Station is an under construction station on the Line 1 and it is a part of the Line 1 South Extension Project. As the name implies, this station is planned to connect Line 1 to Ninoy Aquino International Airport. However, it will not directly connect Line 1 to the airport. The Manila International Airport station would be built in Parañaque.

History[]

Manila International Airport (MIA) station was first planned as part of the Line 1 South Extension plan, which calls for a mostly elevated extension of approximately 11.7 kilometers (7.3 mi). The extension will have 8 passenger stations with an option for 2 future stations (Manuyo Uno and Talaba).[1] The project was first approved on August 25, 2000 and the implementing agreement for the project was approved on January 22, 2002.[2] However, construction for the extension was repeatedly delayed until the project was shelved years later.

The plans for the southern extension project were restarted as early as 2012 during the Aquino administration and was expected to begin construction in 2014, but was delayed due to right of way issues. The issues were resolved in 2016 and the project broke ground on May 4, 2017.[3] Meanwhile, construction works on the south extension began on May 7, 2019 after the right-of-way acquisitions were cleared.[2]

As of December 2021, the project is 61.60% complete. Partial operation of the project will be at the first quarter of 2024 and full operation will be in the second quarter of 2027.[4]
