In an advisory, CAAP said that it issued a notice to airmen on Saturday, Jan. 21, to inform all of the airlines flying in and out of the Philippines about a temporary closure on air traffic. “After the scheduled maintenance activity which was undertaken by CAAP’s engineers and the equipment’s service provider, operations at the ATMC returned to normal at 6:09 a.m., with the NOTAM subsequently being cancelled at 6:16 a.m.,” CAAP said.
Another option for the government is to put up a separate agency from the CAAP with the sole purpose of operating and maintaining air traffic control.The leader of the official opposition bloc in the House of Representatives offered a sensible solution to perennial problems plaguing NAIA by transferring half of its total flights to Clark until 2025.
The opposition leader pointed out that “If we do not take full advantage of Clark as alternate gateway, there will be chaos at NAIA once global air travel explodes” and that privatizing NAIA will definitely “not solve the airport’s congestion.”
