congestion at the Manila TMA
AMIHAN
I would like to correct myself when I said "the airline pilots see and experience the efficiency of other Asian airports in handling arrivals and departures." I failed to mention that the ATC controllers are also at the short end of the air traffic situation at NAIA. I can only imagine the stress you are experiencing during the peak hours.
RPLC or DMIA is the only viable option we have to replace NAIA as the Philippines' international airport. The Aviation sector should clamor/work for this objective. The CAAP needs an office head that has a grasp of what the industry is all about. No more Generals, please. The industry is about business and safety in air operations. The CAAP is not concerned with air defense.
