Very recently NAIA terminal 1 (Ninoy Aquino International Airport ) had taken the number 1 rank for being the worst Airport in the World. For me this does not come as a surprise. If you read back from my previous blogs (.......zzzzzzzzzz) you can notice that every time I go for a visit in the Philippines I always get bad experiences in NAIA. From the corrupt and unfriendly staff, dilapidated bathrooms, parking, the pick up points, the food, security, to the complete strangers approaching you asking for monetary help is just ridiculous. For a country whose 22% of the population lives overseas the condition of our primary airport is just ghastly. This is despite NAIA 1 racking in millions of profits every year. It is one of the busiest Air Hubs in Asia and the potential for further investment is great.
It has already been decades since NAIA 1 had received an upgrade. A complete overhaul of our gateway to the world should be given priority. NAIA bears the name of our current president's father. I hope Pnoy realize that this revamp on our airport should definitely happen on his watch.
