Ninoy Aquino Avenue is a north–south collector road that links Pasay and Parañaque in southern Metro Manila, Philippines.[1] It serves as an extension to Dr. Santos Avenue (formerly Sucat Road) and as a feeder road to Ninoy Aquino International Airport (NAIA) from the south and the east. Like the airport it passes through, it is named after Senator Benigno "Ninoy" Aquino Jr., who was assassinated at the airport in 1983.

Ninoy Aquino Avenue near NAIA Terminal 1

The road commences at the junction with A. Bonifacio Street and the road into Amvel City in Barangay San Dionisio, Parañaque as a continuation of Dr. Santos Avenue. It then travels north toward the old NAIA Terminal 1, traversing Barangays La Huerta and Santo Niño. Notable landmarks include the Dampa Seafood Market, the former Casino Filipino Airport, and Duty Free Fiestamall. It then enters Pasay, where the avenue terminates at the intersection with NAIA Road, near the ramps of the NAIA Expressway.

Previosuly named Imelda Avenue after Filipina first lady Imelda Marcos, the thoroughfare was built around 1970.[2] Its stretch from its northern terminus at NAIA Road (formerly MIA Road) to its sharp curve in La Huerta occupies the former right-of-way of the Manila Railroad Company's Paco–Naic branch.
