DOTr to iron out NAIA rehab with private bidder

MANILA -The Department of Transportation (DOTr) is set to meet with the Manila International Airport Consortium (MIAC) to discuss its unsolicited proposal to rehabilitate the Ninoy Aquino International Airport (Naia), including their project cost which is lower than what the government has estimated.

Transportation Undersecretary for Aviation and Airports Roberto Lim, in an interview with the Inquirer, said the agency was reviewing the proposal lodged in April.

We are scheduling a meeting with the consortium as part of the process of evaluating the entirety of their proposal, he said. The DOTr has yet to disclose when the target date of the meeting is.

We will look at their project cost, too, he added.
