Transportation Secretary Jaime Bautista said the San Miguel Group, the winning bidder of the P171 billion contract to modernize NAIA, will not change the name of the county’s main international gateway.
“I’ll ask our legal people if that can be done, but I don’t think they [San Miguel] will change the name of the airport,” Bautista said.
He said there are no talks to change the name of the airport.
On August 17, 1987, the Manila International Airport (MIA) was renamed the Ninoy Aquino International Airport (NAIA).
Senator Imee Marcos and former Senator Manny Pacquiao earlier co-authored a bill to revert the airport’s name to MIA, but the measure has not been passed.
