The New NAIA Infrastructure Corporation (NNIC) has taken over operations of the Ninoy Aquino International Airport (NAIA), setting ambitious plans for its rehabilitation. The NNIC, a San Miguel-led firm, will operate the airport for the next 15 years and faces the challenge of modernizing the aging facility.
There is high expectation that the New NAIA Infrastructure Corporation will be able to turn things around for the country’s aging main international gateway( NAIA ) is closing the year with new management — from being government-run, a San Miguel -led firm has taken over the operations of the country’s main international gateway. The New NAIA Infrastructure Corporation (NNIC) officially took charge on September 14.
Although it has only been a little over three months since then, it seems that a lot is already in the works for NAIA’s long-overdue rehabilitation. “There is no magic wand to fix all of NAIA’s problems quickly. We cannot solve, in a matter of months, issues that have existed or built up over many decades. In fact, more problems may crop up ,” SMC chief executive officer and NNIC president Ramon Ang said in a “But that is part of modernizing an old facility like NAIA. We’re moving as fast as we can to address both immediate and major issues, and we’re putting all our resources into ensuring travelers will have an improved overall experience as we progress,” he added.The NNIC will serve as NAIA’s operator for the next 15 years. There is high expectation it can turn things around for the country’s aging main airport. One of the first to make headlines was its move to adjust fees after taking over the management of NAIA. Manila International Airport Authority (MIAA) suggested that it may be NNIC’s way of preventing “colorum” vehicles — or illegally operated public transport units — from taking up parking spaces. After rates increased, the operator said they were able to free up 1,800 parking slots..” VIP services now cost P8,000 from the previous P800 fee, which the operator said “allowed virtually any passenger to avail of these privileges”
