The Management Association of the Philippines (MAP) supports the fast but 'unassailable' privatization of the Ninoy Aquino International Airport (NAIA) and upgrading the city airport to global standards. | ManilaBulletin
In a statement, MAP stressed that, whether by solicited or unsolicited bidding process, the NAIA “privatization should be undertaken in an unassailable manner with full transparency, in accordance with best practices, existing laws and regulations which provide for both solicited and unsolicited competitive bidding processes, with the objective of yielding an expeditious process, time being of the essence, and contract terms and conditions in the best public interest.
MAP, which is composed of the country’s largest companies, further stressed the need to maintain the NAIA as a city airport. The case for privatization is bolstered by the many constraints that have weighed down on the country's main air gateway, hampered in particular by tedious, inefficient and ineffective government bureaucratic processes, fiscal constraints, and compounded by lack of management autonomy.
The business group also emphasized that the NAIA privatization should include major upgrading of airport infrastructure, facilities and processes – notably at the airside and landside to include its runway, expanding aircraft movements, passenger throughput capacity, enhancing operating and maintenance processes, particularly through the introduction of modern technology, that will have a favorable impact on passenger comfort and airport security.
