Northern Samar 1st District Rep. Paul Daza said the incident last Sunday where over 300 flights were either cancelled, delayed, or diverted because of the glitch, should signal changes for the Civil Aviation Authority of the Philippines. | GabrielLaluINQ
CAAP, said Daza, is an agency which has both commercial and regulatory function. The agency was created by Republic Act No. 9497 or An Act Creating the Civil Aviation Authority of the Philippines.
There have been calls from members of both the Senate and the House of Representatives for an investigation of the incident. Earlier, the Office of San Jose del Monte Rep. Rida Robes said the lawmaker would be filing a resolution to probe the air traffic management mess. “This is a wake-up call. In an archipelagic country where air- and sea-based travel is critical to growth, we can’t be this complacent and worse, be left behind,” he added.
