DoTr exec: NAIA bidding process could start Sept

The bidding process for the Ninoy Aquino International Airport's (NAIA) privatization could start this September even as the government has yet to decide on how to proceed, a Transportation department official said on Thursday.

The Manila International Airport Consortium's (MIAC) unsolicited offer to upgrade and rehabilitate NAIA is still on the table despite a solicited public-private partnership (PPP) model having been submitted to the National Economic and Development Authority (NEDA) for consideration, Transportation Undersecretary Roberto Lim said.
