Patrol ng Pilipino looks into airport congestion

Manila, Philippines - ABS-CBN news reporter Ron Gagalac (photo) will investigate the reasons behind the delay and cancellation of numerous scheduled flights in the country tonight on ABS-CBN’s Patrol ng Pilipino.

According to data from the Department of Transportation and Communication, the increase in the number of local flights stemmed from the low-airfare rates issues by airline companies. Although the surge has done the business and tourism sectors good, runway traffic glitches have also started surfacing. 

For his report, Ron flew to Davao, the province that accommodates the highest number of flights in the country. He and his news team experienced a two-hour flight delay going to Davao and a 45-minute delay going back to Manila. With incidents such as this, how can the Ninoy Aquino International Airport change its image as the world’s worst airport? What are the government and the airline companies’ proposed strategies to ease runway traffic?
