Cebu Pacific’s woes over a mishap at the Davao international airport on Sunday will not be over any time soon. Davao City Representative Mylene Garcia-Albano has filed a resolution asking for committee hearings on the incident.
That resolution will be useless since the 15th Congress is about to adjourn, but she has promised to file another resolution when the 16th Congress convenes in July.
“This inquiry should review the existing aviation safety rules and regulations and emergency preparedness and response of Cebu Pacific Airlines (and) in particular, the Davao International Airport and the Civil Aviation Authority of the Philippines (CAAP),” she said in a Philippine Star report.
According to Davao City Mayor Sara Duterte, the city lost at least P250 million because the Cebu Pacific airplane that overshot the runway on Sunday kept flights to and from Davao until Wednesday.
The airline has received criticism for its alleged inaction after the incident.
