New Manila International Airport (Filipino: Bagong Paliparang Pandaigdig ng Maynila), also known as Bulacan International Airport, is an international airport currently under construction on the coastal areas of Bulakan, Bulacan, 35 km (22 mi) north of the city of Manila. The project was proposed by the San Miguel Corporation (SMC) and will help decongest Ninoy Aquino International Airport (NAIA), the main entry and exit point to Manila for air travellers. The airport is a part of the flagship infrastructure program of the Rodrigo Duterte administration, commonly known as "Build! Build! Build!".The proposed airport will be built on a 2,500-hectare (6,200-acre) coastal property as part of an envisioned 12,000-hectare (30,000-acre) township that features a residential zone, government center, seaport and an industrial zone. The ₱735.634-billion airport development will cover the passenger terminal building with airside and landside facilities as well as an airport toll road and railway.
The groundbreaking of the new airport began on 14 October 2020, and the actual construction of the first phase of construction on the project, which includes two runways and the terminal buildings, of the new airport began on 18 March 2022, and is planned to be finished by 2026.
