International Airport Authority (MIAA) General Manager Jose Angel
Honrado announced on Wednesday that the terminal fee for international
flights at the Ninoy Aquino International Airport will go down from
P750 to P550 effective February 1.
Honrado explained that the five-year implementation of the additional
P200 collection for improvements in airport security will lapse by the
said date.
Honrado also defended management over the continuing protest of
employees because of the non-release of their Christmas bonus last
year.
The MIAA general manager said that the 14th- to 17th-month pay being
demanded by the employees has not yet been approved by the task force
on government compensation, as mandated by law.
Many airport employees say they are relying on the bonus to augment
the budget of their families for the coming year.
