Source Notes & Corrections
Source disputed: Runway 06/24 at Ninoy Aquino International Airport (MNL) is shown on this page as 3,410 m (11,188 ft), the length published by the Civil Aviation Authority of the Philippines (CAAP) and also listed by SkyVector. Other sources differ: Wikipedia gives 3,514 m (11,529 ft); OurAirports, and MIAA/JICA (2011) figures cited in a World Bank PPP document, give 3,737 m (12,261 ft). The current CAAP eAIP has not been checked. MNL's published dataset rank has not yet been recalculated for this length and is shown as pending.
