NAIA Expressway

The elevated expressway as seen from street level

From the Sales Interchange (NAIA Exit) of Skyway, the expressway heads to the southwest and runs along Sales Road across Villamor Airbase and Newport City. It then curves to the northwest on Andrews Avenue towards the entrance to NAIA Terminal 3 and continues along the northern perimeter of the airport towards Electrical Road near NAIA Terminal 4. From here, it makes a turn to the south and runs along Parañaque River, parallel to Domestic Road on the east towards the NAIA Road junction. From this junction, the expressway branches into two, with one traversing eastwards to NAIA Terminals 1 and 2, while the other continues westwards to Entertainment City and the Manila–Cavite Expressway.

Unlike other limited-access highways in the Philippine expressway network, the maximum speed on the route is 60 kilometers per hour (37 mph).[3]

Under-construction segment of the expressway along Andrews Avenue in front of the Resorts World Manila in 2014.

Construction of the 1.6-kilometer (0.99 mi) NAIA Expressway Phase 1 (NAIA Terminal 3 Exit of Skyway) was completed in 2009[4] It provided an entry/exit ramp to the then newly-opened NAIA Terminal 3 and Resorts World Manila. On January 2, 2014, construction began on Phase 2 of the NAIA Expressway. It included a 7.15-kilometer (4.44 mi) extension of the expressway all the way to Macapagal Boulevard in Entertainment City, Parañaque via Andrews Avenue, Electrical Road (west of Domestic Road) and NAIA Road.[5][6]

On September 22, 2016 at exactly 12:01 AM (PST), the second phase of the airport expressway from Macapagal Boulevard to NAIA Terminals 1 and 2 was opened to all motorists and airport passengers rushing to their flights in order to avoid the traffic lights at every intersection along NAIA Road. The opening of the elevated airport expressway was led by Public Works and Highways Secretary Mark Villar. According to Transportation Secretary Arthur Tugade, the toll collection at the NAIAEx would begin on October 22, exactly one month after the opening of the airport tollway.[2]

On December 21, 2016 at exactly 6:00 AM (PST), the Entertainment City-NAIA Road-SLEX-Skyway segment (including the access ramp to Terminal 3) of the airport expressway was opened to all motorists for the Christmas rush.

On December 28, 2016, the access ramps to and from Manila-Cavite Expressway or CAVITEx were also opened to all motorists to provide easier access from the province of Cavite and Las Piñas to NAIA Terminals 1, 2 and 3 and vice versa.

On June 2, 2017, NAIAx was fully opened to all motorists.

The expressway uses a barrier toll system, where toll collection is done at toll barriers on a fixed rate. The eastbound lanes of NAIAx employ toll collection at exit points and its main toll plaza in front of NAIA Terminal 3, while the westbound lanes employ toll collection on entry points, at its main toll plaza, and upon exit to Andrews Avenue. The expressway uses the Autosweep RFID electronic toll collection system, shared with Skyway, SLEX, and STAR Tollway.
