Light at the end of the runway

During the peak of the Holy Week exodus, the Ninoy Aquino International Airport once again grabbed public attention for all the wrong reasons.

While check-in, baggage handling and security systems remained operational thanks to generators, the airport’s cooling systems faltered. This prompted MIAA to deploy industrial fans in an attempt to alleviate travelers’ discomfort as they rushed on the eve of the Easter triduum. Prior to this, in the weeks leading up to Holy Week, media reports underscored both new and lingering issues at NAIA such as pest infestations such as bed bugs and rats. Even the adequacy of chairs within the terminal was discussed heavily. These issues hounding the country’s main gateway emphasize the dire need for private sector intervention.

With such resources, the private consortium is expected to introduce much-needed upgrades, not only enhancing traveler convenience but also fostering economic growth and drastically improving the Philippines’ image and reputation in the global stage.
