The government on Wednesday said it aims to privatize the management and operation of the Ninoy Aquino International Airport (NAIA) by the first quarter of 2024.

“That is a very tough and tight schedule. We can say that is doable in the first quarter of next year,” said Transportation Undersecretary for Aviation and Airports Roberto Lim.

Lim also clarified issues surrounding the airport’s privatization, including the role of the Manila International Airport Authority once the privatization takes place and the airport employees. On Friday, the Department of Transporation and MIAA submitted a joint proposal for the NAIA solicited Public Private Partnership Project for approval by the National Economic and Development Authority Board, giving the private concessionaire 15 years to operate the airport and recover its investment.

“Like any concessionaire, we need to ensure that this private entity lives up to its commitment to improve air services in the country,” said Poe, who chairs the Senate committee on public services. Immigration Commissioner Norman Tansingco said the BI fully supports a joint proposal recently submitted by the DOTr and Manila International Airport Authority to NEDA to undertake the NAIA modernization.
