Serving over 30 million passengers a year, Manila Ninoy Aquino International Airport is the gateway to the Filipino capital. When the airport needed a new canopy to cover the long passenger drop-off area outside Terminal 3, it turned to BFG for a weather-proof composite alternative to replace the previous aluminium structure which had been blown away by typhoon-force winds. BFG designed, manufactured and installed a perfect sequence of arched FRP ceiling panels, each approximately 1.5 metres by 4 metres, designed with a cantilevered overhang to bear the brunt of future storms. So far, the canopy has withstood the effects of typhoons for over 15 years.
