DOTr stands ground on NAIA privatization
The Department of Transportation (DOTr) affirms its commitment to the public-private partnership (PPP) deal for the Ninoy Aquino International Airport (Naia) with San Miguel Corporation (SMC), despite ongoing legal challenges at the Supreme Court.
Transportation Secretary Vince Dizon highlighted the immediate improvements in Naia's services, including reduced queues and enhanced passenger experience, since SMC took over operations.
Dizon expressed confidence that the airport's condition will continue to improve in the coming months.
He emphasized that the government stands by the concession agreement, describing the process as transparent and guided by the Asian Development Bank.
New Naia Infra Corp. (NNIC), the SMC-led consortium, assumed management of Naia last September, pledging P170 billion for airport modernization.
