NAIA personnel probed over transport racket
The Manila International Airport Authority (MIAA) is investigating airport personnel for alleged involvement in a scam targeting passengers with fake transport schemes at NAIA.
Solicitors posing as airport workers lure passengers into unauthorized vehicles with inflated fares and present fake rate sheets, sometimes with outdated logos.
MIAA General Manager Eric Ines stated there is a possibility of complicity or protection from within the airport, angering Department of Transportation Secretary Vince Dizon.
The scam involves fake drivers using rate sheets showing higher fares than accredited services, with some rate sheets featuring logos from as far back as 2015 or 2016.
Additionally, some accredited taxis are under scrutiny for tampered meters or operating with expired or fake licenses.
The MIAA advises passengers to use designated Transportation Network Vehicle Services (TNVS) areas for official and standard rates.
