SOS added that unless the travel advisories of several foreign governments warning their citizens against flying to the Philippines are lifted, the program to attract more tourists to the country would not gain ground even if open skies is adopted by the government.

The crisis was caused by the abrupt liberalization of the industry and the September 11 terror attacks aggravated the situation, said Rigas Doganis, chairman of the Brussels-based European Aviation Club. 


"Liberalization has made it more difficult to be profitable because of overcapacity," Doganis said in a speech to businessmen in the Philippine capital.
