OPINION | Privatizing international airports By Marvin Tort READ:
whether an airport is managed and operated by the government or a private corporation. After all, what counts is how service is delivered, and not necessarily who delivers it. As for ownership, being strategic assets, I believe that airports should remain state-owned public assets.
There are examples, of course, both here and abroad, of airports being managed well either by a government agency or a private entity. And this is perhaps what encourages the DoTr to consider privatizing the maintenance and operations particularly of the Ninoy Aquino International Airport through a concession agreement with private operators.
The success of these 10 airports shows us that there is no one way to do things, as some are operated by the government, and others by private corporations. The top airport, Hamad in Doha, is owned by the government through the Qatar Civil Aviation Authority, but is operated by a company owned by Qatar Airways.
