The Ninoy Aquino International Airport or NAIA is the main international gateway for travelers to the Philippines and is the hub for all Philippine airlines. In 2007, the airport handled 21,261,133 passengers. This placed the airport 59th worldwide in terms of passenger traffic.
Originally named Manila International Airport, it was later renamed to its present name on August 17, 1987, by virtue of Republic Act No. 6639, with the intention of honoring Benigno "Ninoy" Aquino, Jr., who was assassinated at the airport after returning to the Philippines from his self-imposed exile in the United States on August 21, 1983.
