But with the investments that they will do, the charges that they will collect, mag-iimprove yung effiency ng airport from 32 million capacity ngayon, magiging 60 to 62 million. That would mean a more comfortable, better experience for the passengers,&quot; said Bautista during a press conference.</p><p>But Bautista noted that the exact amount of the increase will still be subject to approval by the cabinet.</p><div><span class="fr-video fr-deletable fr-fvc fr-dvb fr-draggable" contenteditable="false" draggable="true"><iframe width="640" height="360" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/BPl0oamw-9I?&amp;wmode=opaque&amp;rel=0" frameBorder="0" allowfullscreen="" class="fr-draggable"></iframe></span><br/></div><p>He added that it is also possible for the government to forego some of its revenues from the concession deal to prevent any increase or to minimize it.</p><p>“Ayokong i-preempt. Yung amount kasi we have to finalize that,” said Bautista.</p><p>Airport charges such as landing and takeoff fees paid for by airlines will meanwhile go up sooner or by the end of this year. This will also be subject to review.</p><p>“Sabi nga nung mga airlines, baka naman mabigla naman kami, biglang taas. Kaya we’ll review this with the cabinet,” added Bautista.</p><p>According to Bautista, the last time that NAIA raised passenger service fees was in 2000, which he believes is a reason why an increase would be justified, especially with the modernization of the airport.</p>

<p>The DOTr said the terminal fee may go up as the San Miguel-led consortium undertakes a massive rehabilitation of the airport.</p>
