Top national security, transportation, and airport officials have been summoned separately by the Senate and House of Representatives which are conducting their respective inquiries into the power outage that shut down the country’s airspace on Jan. 1.
Poe said that aside from airport and transportation officials, National Security Adviser Clarita Carlos and representatives from the Department of Information and Communications Technology and the National Security Council had been invited to the hearing as well.
She said it was “unfortunate” that the government had failed to pursue a project that would have unified the country’s military and commercial air navigation system. “First of all, Bautista was just sworn into office and this is a long-standing situation,” she noted. “ not just singling out Secretary Tugade. This is a chance for him also to correct the impression that it was during his time that all these things may have been neglected,” she said.For Sen. Juan Edgardo Angara, the airport fiasco should be a “wake-up call” for the government to strengthen CAAP and improve the country’s air traffic navigation system.
“The technical glitch… was a wake-up call for all of us about the need to address the gaps in our air transport systems and the CAAP is front and center in all of this,” Angara said.
