The station was officially named MIA station shortly before its inauguration. The name was derived after the nearby road formerly called MIA Road, now NAIA Road after its namesake airport was renamed in 1987. Despite its name, the station is located at the intersection between Seaside Drive (NAIA Road's physical continuation to Bay City) and Roxas Boulevard, and not within the airport complex. Futhermore, Ninoy Aquino Avenue station is located closer to the airport.

The plan was later revived as part of the LRT-1 Cavite Extension plan, which calls for a mostly elevated extension of approximately 11.7 kilometers. The project was first approved on August 25, 2000, and the implementing agreement for the project was approved on January 22, 2002. However, construction for the extension was repeatedly delayed until the project was shelved years later.
The plans for the southern extension project were restarted as early as 2012 during the Benigno Aquino III administration and was expected to begin construction in 2014 but was delayed due to right-of-way issues. The issues were resolved in 2016 and the project broke ground on May 4, 2017. Meanwhile, construction works on the south extension began on May 7, 2019, after the right of way acquisitions were cleared.
