The country's main gateway, the Ninoy Aquino International Airport in Pasay City is now operating in maximum capacity. Airlines want to begin new services to the airport but the only slots available are at "unholy hours."
MIAA General Manager Jose Angel Honrado said that some airlines have applied for slots at the airport but couldn't get their preferred slots in the morning or evening.

The airport's two runways can accommodate about 30-40 flights every hour.
Two foreign airlines, namely China Eastern Airlines and Oman Airways have been able to secure morning and evening slots from the MIAA.
Jet Airways of India also applied for slots but also wasn't able to get their preferred slot for their planned service to Manila.
Recently, AirAsia Philippines which is based in the Clark International Airport, 100 kilometers North of Manila, started utilizing the slots of Zest Airways after starting a partnership with the latter after a purchase in a stake in the airline.
NAIA's two runways are intersecting and can accommodate 36 flight events every hour. With the General Aviation Area in NAIA, this has increased to almost 50 per hour causing more congestion both in the airport and in Manila airspace.
The Ninoy Aquino International Airport is served by 8 local airlines and 31 foreign airlines.
