XiamenAir Flight 8667
XiamenAir Flight 8667

On 16 August 2018, a Boeing 737-800 operating as XiamenAir Flight 8667 skidded off the runway at Ninoy Aquino International Airport in Metro Manila while attempting to land in poor weather conditions. The crash occurred at 11:55 p.m. Philippine Standard Time (UTC+8) after a two-and-a-half-hour flight from Xiamen. The crash resulted in the destruction of the aircraft but no serious injuries among the crew or passengers. The damaged aircraft took 36 hours to remove from the runway, leading to a major disruption at the airport, which is the primary international gateway to the Philippines. The closure caused the cancellation of more than 200 domestic and international flights, affected more than 250,000 travelers, and prompted calls for enlargement of the airport or the construction of alternative airports to serve the country in the event of future disruptions. After the accident, the flight crew stated in interviews that a torrential downpour obstructed their view of the runway. The investigation revealed that despite the first officer of the aircraft calling for a go-around several times during the landing, the captain attempted to complete the landing despite not being able to clearly identify the runway. The investigation led to changes in airline policy relating to cockpit resource management, planning, and operations in poor weather conditions. It also led to runway improvements at the airport to remove runway obstructions that had caused most of the severe damage experienced by the aircraft.

Ninoy Aquino International Airport

Ninoy Aquino International Airport (NAIA , locally ; Filipino: Paliparang Pandaigdig ng Ninoy Aquino; IATA: MNL, ICAO: RPLL), originally known as Manila International Airport (MIA), is the main international airport serving the city of Manila and the metropolitan area of the same name. Located between the cities of Pasay and Parañaque, about 7 kilometers (4.3 mi) south of Manila proper and southwest of Makati, NAIA is the main gateway for travelers to the Philippines and serves as a hub for AirSWIFT, Cebgo, Cebu Pacific, PAL Express, and Philippine Airlines; it is also the main operating base for Philippines AirAsia. Named after Senator Ninoy Aquino (1932–1983), who was assassinated at the airport on August 21, 1983, it is managed by the Manila International Airport Authority (MIAA), an agency of the Department of Transportation (DOTr).Officially, NAIA is the only airport serving the Metro Manila area. However, in practice, both NAIA and Clark International Airport, located in the Clark Freeport Zone in Pampanga, serve the metropolis. However, Clark caters mostly to low-cost carriers because of its lower landing fees compared to the higher fees at NAIA. Recently, there have been calls for Clark to replace NAIA eventually as the primary airport of the Philippines. In an effort to reduce congestion at the airport, two new airports are being constructed: New Manila International Airport, located in Bulacan, and Sangley Point Airport, located on reclaimed land in Cavite City.Currently, NAIA is operating beyond its designed capacity of 35 million passengers, causing air traffic congestion and flight delays. The airport has been tagged by The Guide to Sleeping In Airports, luggage storage app Bounce, and travel blog Hawaiian Islands as one of the worst airports in both Asia-Pacific, if not the world. Since 2018, plans to privatize and improve the airport have been pitched, and were revived again in 2023 following a major malfunction in the airport's air traffic control system.

Ninoy Aquino International Airport car crash
Ninoy Aquino International Airport car crash

On May 4, 2025, at 08:06 PST (UTC+08:00; 00:06 UTC), a traffic collision occurred after a sports utility vehicle (SUV) rapidly accelerated and crashed into the terminal 1 building of Ninoy Aquino International Airport (NAIA) in Parañaque, Metro Manila, Philippines. The collision killed two people as a result of the inflicted blunt force traumas; both of whom were standing on the airport's curbside. Four others were also injured. The accused was Leo Sinlao Gonzales, who was driving the Ford Everest involved in the accident. Gonzales was sending off his traveling employer when, allegedly, a sedan passed in front of him, which he claimed caused him to panic and press the accelerator. However, CCTV footage contradicted his statement, showing no car was ahead of him. Emergency services were called to the site, and the victims were transported to San Juan de Dios Hospital in Pasay. Gonzales had his professional driver's license suspended by the Land Transportation Office, underwent a drug and alcohol test, which he tested negative, and was charged with two counts of homicide and other related charges. The accused first appeared in court on May 27, where he pleaded not guilty. The accident drew widespread attention, prompting responses from several agencies and reactions from personalities. It also prompted criticisms over airport infrastructure and accusations of corruption after a traffic bollard broke after being run over by the SUV and called out government agencies to address utmost road safety and licensing standards. New NAIA Infrastructure Corporation (NNIC) president Ramon Ang, the Department of Migrant Workers, and the Department of Transportation (DOTr) have vowed to assist the victims. After the accident, NNIC probed other existing traffic bollards at the airport, planning to have them replaced and modify the terminal's drop-off configuration. The Malacañang Palace and the DOTr are initiating an investigation, focusing on scrutinizing the installed bollards at the airport, which were installed while the airport was under government control.
