Poe observed the latest mess in Naia underscored the need for urgent power backup in the airport while a full electrical audit is underway.
“Regardless of duration, power outages in the country’s main gateway are enough to cause a domino effect of flight delays, passenger confusion, and reduced business,” the senator said. She connected the string of blackouts to the plan to privatize the airport’s operations by the first quarter of 2024.
“Even if Naia’s privatization is being explored, this is no excuse for airport officials to drop the ball,” the senator noted. Poe also said Manila International Airport Authority should implement proper maintenance and contingency measures to prevent any more blackouts and travel disruptions.“There should be comprehensive responses for all emergency scenarios. Any audit or improvement needs to be planned ahead of time,” she said.
