Last week, the Marcos administration formally kicked off the process of transferring to private hands the rehabilitation, operation, and maintenance of the Ninoy Aquino International Airport (Naia), the country's main gateway notorious for being congested and prone to massive disruptions. The Department of Transportation (DOTr) and the Manila International Airport Authority (MIAA) have given interested parties until Dec. 27 this year to submit their bids for the P170.6-billion project, which aims to almost double Naia's current passenger capacity of 32 million within the concession period of 15 years, extendable by another 10.
