The Department of Transportation on Tuesday vowed to improve the facilities and equipment of Ninoy Aquino International Airport as well as passengers’ experience this year, but raised the issue of “brain drain” affecting the domestic aviation industry.
“We sincerely apologize to those who were affected by the technical glitch, which affected hundreds of flights and inconvenienced thousands of passengers,” he said. Bautista has said DOTr may need over P13 billion to upgrade the system that caused the recent technical issues at Naia. “[But] at the same time the intra-agency investigation is being conducted on the source of the glitch, we are also addressing reports to set the record straight on what really happened,” he added.
But Tamayo said what caused the circuit breaker to fail is still under investigation. “We are not authorized to open the circuit breaker. If we find that it is not functioning, then we will replace it as we should,” he said. Bautista also vowed to address “pain points” affecting airlines passengers, including inefficient ticket booking, airport congestions, long queues, immigration issues, baggage system, transportation around the airport.Meanwhile, CAAP Director General Manuel Antonio Tamayo said the country is losing aviation experts due to low salary issues.
