New NAIA Infra Corp. (NNIC), the private consortium operating the Ninoy Aquino International Airport (NAIA), opened its brand-new Mezzanine Food Hall at Terminal 3, giving passengers a first taste of the ongoing transformation of the country’s main gateway.
“The new Food Hall is part of our effort to make travel through NAIA more comfortable and convenient for passengers. While we upgrade systems to make the airport run more efficiently, we are also transforming the areas passengers see, feel, and spend time in,”said NNIC President Ramon S. Ang.
By year-end, Ang said NAIA will also open an All-Filipino Food Hall and a Food Village — both located in Terminal 3 — featuring homegrown brands, regional specialties, and family-friendly dining areas.
NNIC general manager Lito Alvarez that spanning 6,000 square meters at the mezzanine level, the Food Hall brings together a diverse mix of local and international dining brands, designed to elevate the pre-flight experience for travelers.
Opening simultaneously today are 9 new stores: Kenny Rogers, Seattle’s Best Coffee, LA Chicks, Paris Baguette, KFC, Chili’s, Nanyang, BreadTalk and JCO Reserve.
Eleven more dining concepts are set to open soon, including Angel’s Pizza, Banapple, Chowking, Mama Lou’s, Marugame Udon, Mary Grace, Modern Shang, Pancake House, Popeyes, UCC and Watami. Estrel’s and Sans Rival will also open their own kiosks, completing the full lineup of the Mezzanine Food Hall.
Alvarez said that beyond Terminal 3, more food halls and dining options are also being planned for Terminals 1 and 2, as part of NNIC’s broader plan to make NAIA more passenger-centric, efficient, and globally competitive, while supporting Filipino businesses and creating new opportunities within the local tourism and hospitality sectors.
