!shame! shame!
up to the '90s, we have an ILS for the NAIA. then it downgraded to VOR/DME. now its just a visual approach for the premier airport of this country. imagine foreign int'l airlines arriving from other countries being asked by approach controller if they accept a visual approach upon their arrival. what is their choice? they have only a few gallons of fuel left for their alternate.
this is not an int'l airport. it is a runway in the bushes. the only difference is that the bushes here are concrete.
the officials of CAAP, if ever they have any delicadeza at all, should own up to this fiasco - a result of their incompetence, inefficiency and lack of knowledge of what their office is all about. do not blame the airlines for flight cancellations. they are only concerned with the safety of their passengers. besides, IFR flight plans and clearances require instruments.
