The government’s plan to privatize the country’s primary international gateway and aviation hub, the Ninoy Aquino International Airport , received support from Go Negosyo founder Joey Concepcion, who cited its potential to grow the Philippine travel economy.
“I am glad that [Department of Transportation] Sec. [Jaime] Bautista supports the privatization of NAIA,” Concepcion said. Bautista earlier confirmed that DOTr is fast-tracking the privatization of NAIA to help modernize and expand the country’s busiest gateway.He explained that NAIA has already exceeded its rated capacity and needs to be improved and modernized.
“In my meeting with [Department of Tourism] Sec. [Christina] Frasco, we discussed how we can help our MSMEs prepare for the tourism boom. We still have, by far, the best beaches and one of the most welcoming people in the world,” Concepcion said. Earlier, Concepcion revived a 2018 proposal forming a consortium to modernize the NAIA following the New Year’s Day glitch that paralyzed operations over Philippine airspace.
