San Miguel’s Bulacan airport, MRT7 delayed until 2028

MANILA, Philippines – San Miguel Corporation (SMC) confirmed that both its New Manila International Airport (NMIA) in Bulacan and Metro Rail Transit Line 7 (MRT7) face delays that will push their partial operation and completion dates back once more.

Responding to various news reports about the construction delays surrounding the NMIA, San Miguel confirmed that the airport might now start operations in Q1 2028, not in 2027 as originally planned. SMC pinned the blame on a lack of sand that has slowed down construction works.
