NAIA is currently undergoing a transformational phase with ongoing rehabilitation efforts following the successful bid by the consortium spearheaded by San Miguel Corp. (SMC).
According to the consortium, its proposal is "designed not only to elevate NAIA to world-class standards but also to ensure that the government benefits from the most advantageous revenue-sharing agreement." It aims to put fairness and long-term sustainability at the top of its priorities as it gains a "favorable outcome" for its shareholders.
