AIRLINES are expected to normalize their operations at NAIA within the next three days, an airport official said, a day after a power outage downed its air traffic control system and caused numerous flight cancellations and delays.
Mr. Chiong said the MIAA is trying to expedite the processing of a backup air traffic system. He noted NAIA is currently handling a maximum of 15 flights per hour as of Monday morning, down from the usual 20.
Transportation Secretary Jaime J. Bautista said that the government is not ruling out the possibility of an external attack as one of the causes behind the technical issue. Mr. Bautista said it may take some time to address the issues surrounding the ATM system since it would require additional funding.
“Having seen how badly key systems in our air transportation system need to be modernized, and how severely any glitch can affect the whole country, I hope that this time, we can revive this proposal and see it through,” he said in a statement.
