This is one for the books, and we will take it!
The Ninoy Aquino International Airport (NAIA) which was once
the butt of jokes was hailed recently as one of the fastest Asia Pacific (APAC)
airports to exit in a survey released by Blacklane, a global chauffeur and
airport concierge service.
This is a first and a sure welcome, after a few weeks back
President Rodrigo Roa Duterte threatened to make the Philippine Air Force take
over the airport if they will not shape up.

Blacklane’s analysis ranks the NAIA as the 7th fastest APAC
airport to exit for international arrivals, taking an average of 37 minutes to
exit, shorter than a global average of 38 minutes.
Blacklane analysis covers the total time for travelers to
exit the aircraft, gather their luggage, secure clearance in immigration and
customs and walk to their vehicles. Shanghai ranked first in the APAC category.
They also
considered as important the short exit time are the smaller size of aircraft
and airport terminals.
The study also
considered the substantial deployment of airport employees to accommodate
passengers, as well as new technology such as e-gates that speed up travelers’
exit.
Department of Transportation
Secretary Arthur Tugade commended Manila International Airport Authority (MIAA)
general manager Ed Monreal, for the international citation.
“I congratulate the
MIAA for this achievement. This is evidence that the management of the
country’s main gateway is geared towards enhancing the comfort and convenience
of the air-riding public, as aspired for by no less than President Rodrigo
Duterte himself,” Tugade expressed.
