The commission that oversees government-owned and -controlled corporations is considering filing cases against officials of the Civil Aviation Authority of the Philippines over the New Year’s Day air traffic management fiasco that grounded more than 300 flights and inconvenienced about 65,000 passengers.
The commission said it would coordinate and work closely with the Senate investigation by providing the necessary resources to determine the root cause of the incident and recommend corrective action for the agency. Diaz said this was separate from the internal investigation being conducted by the CAAP to identify the root cause of the incident.
Bautista said that the DOTr has been in discussions with the Sumitomo Corp. – Thales Corp.since September 2022, and adding that it was expediting the resolution of the payment dispute. A day after she conducted the Senate hearings on the New Year’s fiasco at the Ninoy Aquino International Airport , Senator Grace Poe told CAAP officials not to be satisfied with band-aid solutions as the safety of all air passengers was at stake.Based on the hearing, Poe said, it was clear that while the CAAP believed it has the people and the equipment to do the job, it fell short in addressing an incident that started with equipment failure.
Bautista on Friday said his department is speeding up the privatization of NAIA by completing the terms of reference for the contract.
