The P511-million Manila Area Control Center, an unused air traffic control system, is a 'waste of money' says a former official of the Civil Aviation Authority of the Philippines.
at the country’s premiere airport which affected more than 78,000 passengers, another defective air traffic system in the Philippines has come to light – this time, one that was never even used.
“As of today, CS-Soft has yet to prove its name in the development of reliable and dependable air traffic management systems,” the Philippine Air Traffic Controllers Association said in a position paper in 2011. “It was a waste of money because we found it to be useless. … It was unsafe to use,” he said during the joint Senate committee hearing on Thursday, January 12.
