Aklan eyes probe on Kalibo airport terminal fee scam

The Aklan Provincial Board is eyeing a separate investigation on the alleged terminal fee ticket scam at the Kalibo International Airport.

Provincial Board Secretary Odon Bandiola said he has already been directed by members of the Aklan legislative body to formally inquire and get in touch with the Civil Aviation Authority of the Philippines (CAAP).

In a May 18, 2016 statement, CAAP said 11 casual employees of the airport were sacked after they were found to be recycling terminal fee tickets and issued to international and domestic passengers.

CAAP said this modus of airport employees, who issued recycled terminal fee tickets of R500 for foreign flights and R200 for domestic flights, were allegedly carried out between January and February 2016.

In recent years, several controversies have rocked the Kalibo International Airport, which is the principal gateway to world-famous Boracay Island in Malay town.
