'Poor airport infrastructure hindering growth'

-

The Joint Foreign Chambers of the Philippines (JFC) has raised its concern about the poor airport infrastructure in the country that is hindering the growth of the tourism industry, urging  the government to fast-track efforts to develop the Diosdado Macapagal International Airport in Clark, Pampanga as the main gateway to the Philippines.

In a statement, the JFC said the Ninoy Aquino International Airport (NAIA) complex has been inadequately serving as the country’s doorstep to foreign tourists, especially to investors interested to pour investments here.

Brian Lane, chairman of the transportation and infrastructure committee of the American Chamber of Commerce of the Philippines Inc. (AmCham) and director of the Australian-New Zealand Chamber of Commerce, said the bleak runway and terminal conditions at the NAIA Terminals I and II and the problematic opening of the controversial NAIA Terminal III further raised the need to push ahead efforts to develop the DMIA.
