Aviation stakeholders appeal MIAA’s planned hike in fees for use of facilities

Stakeholders of the local aviation industry are appealing the Manila International Airport Authority’s (MIAA) planned revision of the guidelines for aeronautical fees and charges which will make way for increases in fees for the use of facilities.

The Air Carriers Association of the Philippines, the Board of Airline Representatives, the Airline Operators Council, and the International Airports Association are now appealing the revision of Administrative Order 1 Series of 2000.

The stakeholders are asking the reasons for increasing fees on passenger processing, landing and takeoff, and biometric processing, and are seeking a deeper consultation with the government with transparency and accountability moving forward, as reported on GMA Super Radyo DZBB.

Under its mandate, the MIAA is tasked to formulate and adopt internationally acceptable standards of airport accommodation services, upgrade and provide safe and efficient airport facilities, and help encourage and promote international and domestic air traffic in the country. — Jon Viktor D.
