00:00At the same time in the Bear Month, when the number of backpackers and travellers increased,
00:04some airlines also increased their number of passengers.
00:07The airline's buyer, according to them, could increase the number of passengers.
00:13Here's Maki Polito.
00:17Airplanes' landing and take-off fees were increased by more than triple.
00:21For large airplanes with a weight of more than 100,000 kilos,
00:26the fee for international flights' landing and take-off fees will increase by US$1,794 from US$557.
00:35For domestic flights, from US$10,000, it will increase to US$30,000.
00:40This is part of the Administrative Order No. 1 Series of 2024 or Amended NIA Fee Regulations
00:46attached to the Concession Agreement of San Miguel Corporation
00:50approved by Gabinete only on September 4.
00:53The reason for this is for us to be able to generate revenue,
00:58especially the concessionaire, for them to be able to finance the infrastructure requirements to modernize the airport.
01:05What would be the benefit insofar as the increases are concerned?
01:12If it would entail better air traffic management, less queuing, more frequent flights?
01:22But according to the Airline Operators' Council, this is heavy for the operational costs of the airlines.
01:27That's why it's not surprising that there are airlines that filed a petition to the Civil Aeronautics Board for the increase of the fare.
01:34This increase is not in the budget of the airline for this year.
01:38So it was not considered as part of our expense.
01:41There's a possibility that many airlines will just take up the cost
01:45and then we'll consider it to the next budget planning period.
01:50It is also possible that the airline will save on other things so that it will not increase the fare.
01:54This will only have an effect on the service.
01:56The seaman, Joe Peniel, is already worried.
01:59He went home to the province if the boat ride date was postponed.
02:04I've been standing by here for a long time, waiting to leave.
02:07If we find out that our departure is still far away,
02:12there's a big risk that we'll have to pay a high price.
02:16How many airlines are affected by the increase in the fare?
02:18Even passengers will be stopped by their cars.
02:21Effective October 1, the first two hours from P40 will be P50.
02:26P25 will be added to the succeeding hour.
02:29But if you leave the car for 24 hours in the parking lot,
02:33it's already P1,200.
02:35If motorcycle, it's P480.
02:37And if bus, it's P2,400.
02:40It's okay for the first two hours.
02:42Sometimes, it will be delayed for more than two to three hours.
02:46What if I only bring a small amount?
02:50I hope that they will think about it first.
02:53The problem is that if you commute, it will be more difficult.
03:00The concessionaire said that NUNIA Infra Corporation, or NNIC,
03:04is to reduce the parking lot.
03:06The parking fee is cheap compared to nearby establishments.
03:09That's why a lot of people are stopping there even if there's no one at the airport.
