Mendoza hopes
aviation bill
approved in February |
|
Creation of the Civil Aviation Authority can speed up
reforms in the aviation industry |
|
By Angelo S. Samonte Reporter
Transportation and Communications
Secretary Leandro Mendoza, who is also the concurrent Air
Transportation Office (ATO) chief, said he is hoping Congress could
pass the bill creating the Civil Aviation Authority of the
Philippines by February this year, so the government can immediately
institute reforms in the country’s aviation industry.
The need to speed up reforms in
the country’s aviation industry stems from the downgrading of the
US Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) of the Philippine’s
ratings from Category 1 to Category 2 to reflect safety concerns.
Twenty other countries were also downgraded.
