Manila airport fee hikes draw pushback ahead of revamp push

MANILA — Increasing fees for a wide range of services from parking to VIP treatment have raised concerns as long-awaited efforts to revamp Manila's main airport move forward.

Ninoy Aquino International Airport (NAIA) is regularly ranked as one of the worst aviation hubs in the world. To remedy the situation, the Philippine Department of Transportation in February hired New NAIA Infra Corp., a consortium backed by Philippine conglomerate San Miguel and South Korea's Incheon International Airport Corp. (NNIC) signed a privatization agreement.
