The government may have the option to close the Ninoy Aquino International Airport when the proposed gateways in Bulacan and Cavite become operational, Transportation Secretary Jaime Bautista said on Wednesday.
On the other hand, San Miguel Corp. is building the P740-billion New Manila International Airport project in Bulacan.Bautista, however, said the NAIA could still operate ,while the Sangley and Bulacan airports would cater to air passengers to give travelers the choice of where they would want to land or depart.While the new airports are being constructed, Bautista said the government may start negotiations for the privatization of NAIA.
During the previous administration, two major proposals were made to rehabilitate the airport, one from the NAIA Consortium which included Tan’s Asia’s Emerging Dragon, AC Infrastructure Holdings Corp., Alliance Global Group Inc., Filinvest Development Corp., and JG Summit Holdings Inc. The proposals of the NAIA Consortium and the Megawide consortium were eventually rejected by the government.
