Ninoy Aquino station was first planned as part of the Line 1 South Extension plan, which calls for a mostly elevated extension of approximately 11.7 kilometers. The extension will have 8 passenger stations with an option for 2 future stations (Manuyo Uno and Talaba). 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.

As of July 27, 2023, the project is 88% complete; the station itself is 59.3% complete. Phase 1 of the extension (from Redemptorist station to Dr. Santos station) is slated to be operational by the 4th quarter of 2024, with full operations by second quarter of 2027.

When completed, the station will be nearby the Global Airport Business Park Gate 1 along Ninoy Aquino Avenue and other air cargo logistics provider warehouse such as F2 Logistics. The station is also near Gedcor Square Building, whose tenants are mostly forwarding companies. It is also easily accessible to educational institutions such as Santo Niño National High School, La Huerta Elementary School, and Polytechnic University of the Philippines - Parañaque, Parañaque Central Post Office, and the residential areas of Barangays Santo Niño and La Huerta in Parañaque. This shall be the sole station along Ninoy Aquino Avenue before it crosses over to Dr. Santos Avenue.

The station is accessible to passengers who wish to transfer to road PUVs such as jeepneys and UV Express which are plying the route of Baclaran-Sucat and Sucat-Lawton (or Sucat-Lawton via Mall of Asia) respectively for those who are going to Manila, Pasay, and Parañaque respectively.
