It will have a modern, eye-catching design, which may be an iconic landmark in the city&#8217;s skyline.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Runway Manila is designed to accommodate up to 2,000 persons at any time, or up to 216,000 individuals per day. The bridge is for the benefit and free use of the public,\u201d Villar added.<\/p>\n<p>According to the Manila International Airport Authority (MIAA), NAIA T3 has the capacity to handle 13 million international passengers annually.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The Duterte Administration is fully committed to reduce vehicular traffic congestion and increase mobility of pedestrians.
