The New NAIA Infra Corp. (NNIC), the private operator of the Ninoy Aquino International Airport (NAIA), has unveiled its brand-new Mezzanine Food Hall at Terminal 3, offering passengers a first taste of the ongoing transformation of the country’s main gateway.
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.
The Food Hall opened with nine new stores including 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.
“The new Food Hall is part of our effort to make travel through NAIA more comfortable and convenient for passengers,” said NNIC president Ramon Ang.
“While we upgrade systems to make the airport run more efficiently, we are also transforming the areas passengers see, feel and spend time in,” he said. Darwin G. Amojelar
By year-end, 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.
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.
