An awareness walk will be staged at the Ninoy Aquino International Airport (NAIA) Terminal 1 on March 1, to kick-off the 37th anniversary of the Manila International Airport Authority (MIAA).

Dubbed the FOD walk, it aims to raise awareness in keeping the entire aircraft movement areas free of FODs. FOD stands for foreign object debris, which, in aviation, is any substance or material, alien to an aircraft, which could potentially cause damage.
