President Rodrigo Duterte has ordered the immediate transfer of domestic flights operations to Sangley Point in Cavite to address air traffic congestion at the Ninoy Aquino International Airport (NAIA).
The order came following the President’s surprise visit at NAIA, Monday.
Duterte gave the directive during the Cabinet meeting on the same day after reports about flight delays and cancellations.
“The president directed the operations in Sangley Point to start immediately,” Presidential Spokesperson Sal Panelo said during his regular press briefing.
Transportation Secretary Art Tugade initiated the testing of ferries from Mall of Asia in Pasay to Sangley which covered around 18-24 minutes.
The presidential spokesperson added that the president wants to make the Sangley operations to start in November.
