MIAA urged to defer airlines terminal reassignments
Camarines Sur Rep. LRay Villafuerte urged the Manila International Airport Authority (MIAA) to halt its Schedule and Terminal Assignment Rationalization (STAR) program due to worsening passenger queues and chaos at the Ninoy Aquino International Airport (NAIA).
Villafuerte questioned the practicality of the program, which aims to increase capacity by reassigning airlines to different NAIA terminals, especially after airport congestion reportedly worsened at NAIA Terminal 1.
He noted that the latest scenario of long passenger lines occurred shortly after three power outages and an air traffic system failure at NAIA this year.
The STAR program, launched on April 16, has seen airlines like Philippine Airlines and AirAsia Philippines relocating flights to different terminals.
Villafuerte suggested returning to the previous airline assignments until the STAR program is thoroughly reviewed and potentially adjusted, possibly integrating this review with ongoing NAIA terminal rehabilitation plans.
