Security bollards at NAIA to be audited after deadly crash
The New NAIA Infra Corporation (NNIC) is auditing and reinforcing all security bollards at Ninoy Aquino International Airport (NAIA) following a fatal crash.
The bollards, installed in 2019, are being inspected for necessary upgrades like deeper foundations, as they were found not to be buried deep enough into the concrete.
The Department of Transportation (DOTr) has ordered an investigation into the procurement of the bollards to determine if they were substandard and if international standards were followed.
DOTr Secretary Vince Dizon stated that accountability will be determined if errors are found in the procurement or installation process.
Departure passenger drop-off areas at NAIA Terminals 1 and 2 will be redesigned to enhance curbside safety.
The audit and redesigns follow an incident where an SUV plowed into a crowd near Terminal 1, resulting in two deaths and four injuries.
