“You cannot privatize an airport, to begin with. They cannot own the airport. A private firm cannot own the airport,” Marcos said.
He said, however, that the government was looking to hire a foreign private company to manage traffic and increase movement at NAIA. He said he and other government officials met with a company, which he did not name, during their trip to New York City last year. “They said that without new equipment, without building a new runway, they can increase the traffic from what is presently they refer to as 35 movements per hour to 45 movements per hour. We want that. They have a huge experience in running ports and running airports,” Marcos said.
Representatives from that company, he said, were in Manila “last week to look at the operation of the airport.”
