PRESIDENT Rodrigo Duterte has hinted at a possible revamp at the Ninoy Aquino International Airport (NAIA), as he expressed his preference for the airport security to be handled by the military or civilians, Malacañang said on Tuesday.
Duterte on Monday made a “surprise” inspection at the country’s main airport following reports of flight delays and cancellations over the weekend.
Palace spokesman Salvador Panelo said Duterte, during the Cabinet meeting in Malacañang, shared what he found out in his surprise visit to NAIA.
“He (Duterte) expressed dismay and hinted at its revamp,” Panelo said in a statement.
“President Duterte prefers that airport security be handled by a single entity, either from the military or civilian force,” he added.
Duterte’s called for a revamp came as Transportation Secretary Arthur Tugade discussed the plan to transfer general aviation or domestic flights to Sangley Point or the Danilo Atienza Air Base.
