The Manila International Airport Authority (MIAA) has eliminated 844 permanent positions as part of the ongoing reorganization at the Ninoy Aquino International Airport.
The move came after the Authority transferred the management of the airport to its new private operator, New NAIA Infrastructure Corp. (NNIC), for the planned rehabilitation of the country’s premier gateway.
The MIAA said in a statement that “those employees will be given their Separation Incentive Pay (SIP), ensuring that they are fairly compensated for their departure from MIAA.”
On Tuesday, MIAA general manager Eric Jose Ines announced that the airport authority is looking forward to its newly designated role as the airport regulator.
Ines highlighted that MIAA is undergoing significant transformations, one of which is its shift to becoming the regulatory body for NAIA under the Public-Private Partnership (PPP) agreement with NNIC. He said the government is looking forward to the development plan of NNIC for NAIA.
“This partnership will allow MIAA to maintain its focus on fulfilling critical governmental functions, ensuring that the government can continue to protect its interests both domestically and internationally,” he said.
