Metro Manila, Philippines – New NAIA Infra Corp. (NNIC) is expanding the dining lineup at Ninoy Aquino International Airport (NAIA) Terminal 3, building on the restaurants and retail concepts it has introduced since taking over airport operations in September 2024.
The next wave of dining concepts expected to open at T3’s international airside area by the end of August includes Cibo, Shake Shack, Caravan Black, Wildflour, Conti’s, Ramen Nagi, BHC Chicken, Gloria Maris, Love A Bowl, Ladurée, Venchi, Voyager by Chele and Baby Crosta. On the domestic side, a new 350-square-meter Starbucks Reserve is also set to open in July.
NNIC said the additions are part of its ongoing effort to make better use of T3 space and convert underused areas into amenities that can serve more passengers throughout the day.
“Our goal is to make T3 more useful and comfortable for more passengers,” NNIC said. “We are reworking available spaces so they can serve travelers better throughout the day.”
The expansion follows improvements already introduced on the landside area of T3, where more than 40 new restaurants and retail concepts have opened after offices and other spaces were repurposed for passenger use.
NAIA T3 is an immediate priority because of its passenger volume, space constraints and need for more food, beverage and service options, especially in the international departure area.
In March 2026, UK-based Airport Parking and Hotels ranked NAIA seventh globally for layover food options and sixth for most affordable airport lounge access in a study of the world’s 50 busiest airports.
NNIC said the same approach is now being applied to other parts of T3, including former lounge areas and other spaces that can be converted into restaurants, cafés, retail concepts and amenities for a broader range of passengers.
“We want to make sure that our limited terminal space benefits more travelers,” NNIC said. “Better food choices, more comfortable waiting areas and more useful passenger amenities are part of the airport experience we want to build.”
NNIC said similar space reviews and commercial improvements are also being carried out in other terminals as part of a broader effort to provide more passenger-serving amenities across the airport.
The company said the expansion of dining and retail choices is part of NAIA’s modernization program, which includes improvements in passenger flow, terminal comfort, commercial services and overall airport efficiency.
