After take over of the NAIA terminals, SMC has jacked up fees: parking and landing and take off fees for airlines. While the increase in fees are meant to raise funds for the privatization and promote efficiency in operations. various objections and criticisms have been raised:
1. SMC has not shown improvements yet in the operations of the airport, why the sudden increase in
rates;
2. The higher landing and take off fees, which could be one of the highest in the world may:
1. Drive other airlines away from Philippines as destination
2. Will be simply passed on to the consumers
3. Such resulting higher costs are cases vs privatization. A public consultation is being desired by many netizens.
4. The 300 to 400% increase in fees are way too high and suddden (dapat staggered?)
These moves run counter to RSA values of serving others first before profit (or was this a misdirection)
