Rehabilitating the Ninoy Aquino International Airport (NAIA) is a gargantuan task with a lot at stake. ManilaBulletin
Considering that NAIA plays a critical role in the Philippines over-all transportation system, being its primary air travel gateway, it is imperative that the airport’s update should be undertaken by a party with the appropriate knowledge and experience, not to mention financial capability.
These companies have a combined proven track record of delivering and operating some of the Philippines’ most important air travel players, including the Mactan Cebu International Airport, Clark International Airport, Philippine Airlines and Cebu Pacific. Collectively, the members of MIAC have submitted to the Philippine government a multi-phased Masterplan to transform NAIA into a regional airport hub that can accommodate 70 million passengers per year, effectively doubling its current capacity.As part of its plan, MIAC plans to deploy US$4 billion dollars which will be geared towards technological and process upgrades needed to accommodate increased passenger traffic.
While NAIA’s rehabilitation and the establishment of new airports will create redundancies, this excess capacity is needed by Metro Manila to support the projected explosive growth of air travel in the next few years. Further, around the world, there are multiple examples of cities of similar size or population levels which are serviced by more than one airport: Seoul , Tokyo and New York are prime examples.
