A consumer group strongly rejects any increase in airport fees pending changes or improvements at the Ninoy Aquino International Airport .
“This is another unjust burden imposed on ordinary Filipinos. The welfare of the majority of travelers, who can only afford the budget fares, should take precedence. Let us consider the millions of overseas Filipino workers enduring the heartache of being separated from their families and toiling far from home to provide the needed support for their loved ones,” he added.
Bautista explained that the increase is necessary to compensate the concessionaire for their investment, but also assured the public that these charges will be used for the improvement of the airport. “The airport management has a lot to explain about their decision to approve the increase in airport fees considering improvements have yet to be done in our airport. There is no basis to burden the public with additional fees because it should be the winning bidder, which should fund the improvements in the airport. Isn’t financial capacity a requisite for being awarded the contract for the project?” he added.
