MANILA – Senator Aquilino "Koko" Pimentel III on Monday reiterated his call to decongest the Ninoy Aquino International Airport after a stalled Xiamen Airlines jet on its runway hampered operations over the weekend.
Clark International Airport should be developed as another main gateway to service passengers from the north while NAIA caters to those from Southern Luzon, Pimentel said in a statement.
"We can't dillydally anymore. I made the same call in 2016. Let's not wait for another airplane incident which hassled thousands of passengers to realize there should be an urgent and comprehensive government plan to decongest the NAIA," Pimentel said.
The development of Clark International Airport should be a core component of the government’s Build, Build, Build program, he said.
