HISTORY :

A feasibility study and airport master plan was drawn up in 1973 by Airways
PHILIPPINES
Engineering Corporation. The detailed engineering design of the new MIA
Development Project (MIADP) was undertaken by Renardet-Sauti/Transplan/F.F.
Cruz Consultants while the design of the International Passenger Terminal building
was prepared by Architect L.V. Locsin & Associates. A US$29.6 Million loan was
arranged with the Asian Development Bank (ADB) to finance the project.
The final engineering design was adopted by the Philippine Government in 1974
and concurred by the ADB on September 18, 1975. Actual work on the project
started in the second quarter of 1978.
On March 4, 1982, the MIA Division under the Bureau of Air Transportation was
abolished by EXECUTIVE ORDER NO. 778. In its place, the MANILA INTERNATIONAL
AIRPORT AUTHORITY (MIAA), was created and vested with the power to administer
and operate the Manila International Airport.
.
The last amendment to the MIAA Charter was made on July 26, 1987 through
Executive Order No. 298 which provided for a more realistic income sharing
arrangement between MIAA and the National Government. Instead of the 65% of
MIAAs gross operating income, only 20%, exclusive of income generated from the
passenger terminal fees and utility charges, shall revert to the general fund of the
National Treasury. EO 298 also reorganized the MIAA Board and raised the
capitalization to its original magnitude of PHP 10 billion.
On August 17, 1987, Republic Act No. 6639 was enacted and the MIA was renamed
the Ninoy Aquino International Airport. The MIA Authority however, retained its
corporate name since the law did not amend the original or revised charters of the

In order to address the continuing increase in the number of air passengers, the Manila
International Airport Authority (MIAA) decided to construct a new terminal facility within the vicinity
of the present Ninoy Aquino International Airport (NAIA).
This resulted in NAIA Terminal 2 which began operations in 1999. Originally envisioned as a
domestic hub, the terminal now houses both the international and domestic operations of the
countrys flag carrier, Philippine Airlines.
Designed by Aeroports de Paris to handle 9 million passengers annually, Terminal 2 features an
arrowhead design focused on a six-storey central building called the Rotunda. The building system
is built with white steel ossature, aluminum ceiling panels and marble floors. The dark tones of the
basement levels provide a volcanic rock accent to the structure.
The arrow wings are designated North and South. Each wing has two levels with the ground
levels featuring expansive lobbies to handle arrival traffic, while the second floor levels possess
equally airy departure areas, check-in halls and boarding areas. The Northwing is used for PALs
international flights while the Southwing services its domestic flights.

In 1991, NAIAs Terminal 1 reached its design capacity of 4.5 million passengers. As
a result of annual passenger traffic growing at 9% per annum, the 1990 NAIA Master
Plan crafted by Aeroport de Paris included a provision for a larger and modernized
international passenger terminal. While improvements raised Terminal 1s design
capacity to 6 million, a peak level of 7.7 million passengers was reached in 1997,
causing overflow of passengers that year.
Terminal 3 was the answer to this growing traffic. Currently the largest airport in
Manila, it stands proud on a 65-hectare property adjacent to the NAIA runway facilities.
It is a two-tiered design with its ground floor handling arrivals and the second level
facilitating departures. Each level has 600 meters of curbside space, rendering drop offs
and pickups efficient.
Terminal 3 can handle 13 million passengers annually. The center of the building
contains the head house where passenger processing is centralized. A total of 24
boarding gates accommodate 4,000 peak hour one-way passengers.

History
The Changi airbase was built
by World War II prisoners of
war from 1943 to 1944. The
north-south
and
east-west
strips located in the northeast
point
of
Singapore
were
merely
unpaved,
thinly
grassed runways when the
RAF took over the airbase in
1946. Japanese prisoners then
added perforated steel plates
on the east-west strip and
strengthened the north-south
runway, the latter serving as
the main runway for military
aircraft until 1949.
Description
Currently, Changi Airport has two
parallel runways, each 60-metre
wide with a 1.64 km gap separating
them. When the airport first
opened, only Terminal 1 was
operational. On 22 November 1990,
Terminal 2 was made operational
and opened officially on 1 June the
following year. Terminal 2 is much
larger than Terminal 1 but both
provide
similar
services
that
include passenger transactions and
transit,
and
restaurants
and
shopping areas.Following that,
Terminal 3 commenced operations
on 9 January 2008. Together, the
three terminals can handle a total
of 66 million passenger movements
annually. Terminal 4 is currently
being constructed and is targeted
for completion in 2017. The

Description
Incheon International Airport, which
opened in May 2011, is the biggest
airport in Korea and serves as the main
entrance gate for travelers visiting
Korea. Incheon International Airport
offers only three domestic routes:
Daegu, Busan, and Jeju. It offers flights
to Daegu and Busan two and seven
times a day, respectively, and flights to
Jeju twice a day except for Wednesdays
and Thursdays (one flight each day).
Most of the flights will operate under
this schedule until October 2011, but
direct inquiry to the airlines is
recommended since the flight schedule
is subject to change. To travel to
Busan, Jeju, or Daegu, Gimpo Airport is
a better option. Incheon International
Airport is expected to have more

Design and sustainability of Incheon
airport's T2
The terminal design will be based on
the concept of Bonghwang (Korean
Phoenix), a Korean mythological
beast symbolising authority,
longevity, strength and balance.
The terminal will be constructed
based on Korean design patterns
representing Korean culture and
traditions.
Locally quarried granite and
traditional Korean wood will be used
for the flooring of the terminal.
The roof will be fitted with solar
photovoltaic panels, to reduce energy
consumption.
The terminal will have sculpture and
