MANILA, Philippines — Excessive travel requirements imposed by the national and local governments could result in the crash of the local aviation industry, an adviser of President Rodrigo Duterte said Friday. 

 

“For these airline companies to survive, there has to be [a] sustainable number of passengers especially for the tourism industry,” said Presidential Adviser for Entrepreneurship Joey Concepcion.

 

During a meeting, major airline groups sought the help of Concepcion in urging the government to allow increased mobility of vaccinated Filipinos in order to sustain the recovery of revenues lost since the COVID-19 pandemic started in March 2020.
