A number of air travelers — including elected officials, businessmen and netizens have denounced the technical glitch that hounded the country’s air traffic system and grounded hundreds of domestic and international flights on New Year’s day. READ:
We’re told radar and navigation facilities at NAIA down.I was on my way home fm Tokyo – 3 hours into the flight, but had to return to Haneda. 6 hours of useless flying but inconvenience to travelers and losses to tourism and business are horrendous. Only in the PH. Sigh.Senator JV Ejercito lamented that the whole Philippine airspace system bogging down is not the way to start 2023.“What a way to start the new year, CAAP Air Traffic Management System bogged down.
Senator Grace Poe, meanwhile, said that the technical issues show the need for contingency plans and the need to address transportation woes.“The ongoing cancellation of all inbound and outbound flights in the NAIA today shows the need for multiple contingency plans and the immediate rollout of assistance to all stranded passengers for any disruptions,” she said.
“Hindi pwedeng nagkukumahog tayo kapag galit na galit na ang mga pasahero. What a way to start the year. Wala pang isang buwan nang magsalita ako tungkol sa lagay ng air transportation sa bansa, but we’re now adding another problem to the list instead of striking them off,” she added.“NAIA is the gateway to the Philippines. We better ask #NasaanAngPangulo because this is a national issue that needs to be addressed immediately.
