New Manila International Airport
The New Manila International Airport also known as the Bulacan International Airport, is a proposed airport through an unsolicited proposal by the San Miguel Corporation to be built in the coastal areas of Bulakan, Bulacan, 35 kilometers north of the city of Manila. It will replace the overcrowded Ninoy Aquino International Airport (NAIA).
The proposed airport will be built on a 2,500-hectare coastal property as part of an envisioned 12,000 hectare township that features a residential zone, government center, seaport and an industrial zone. The ₱735.634-billion airport development will cover the passenger terminal building with airside and landside facilities as well as an airport toll road and railway.
he proposed airport will feature at least four runways, expandable to six.It will have a capacity of 100 million passengers per year when fully built, which is about three times larger than the current capacity of NAIA.
It will also be connected to Metro Manila by an airport toll road with connections to the North Luzon Expressway and Radial Road 10, and a railway.
The project will have a final review of the Office of the Solicitor-General (OSG) and the Department of Finance (DOF) before it will undergo a Swiss challenge where other prospective companies will compete against the San Miguel Corporation proposal. As the original project proponent, SMC has the right to match any bid by its competitors. The Department of Transportation, the implementing agency for the project, eyes to finish Swiss challenge for Bulacan airport project by the first quarter of 2019.
On July 31, 2019, the Swiss challenge period ended, with no rival bids With this, SMC was expected to be awarded the project.
On August 13, 2019, SMC tapped 3 international firms, Groupe ADP Ingénierie, Meinhardt Group and Jacobs Engineering Group (the same builders behind Singapore Changi Airport, Hartsfield–Jackson Atlanta International Airport, and Charles de Gaulle Airport) to build and design the airport.
On September 18, 2019, San Miguel Corporation, through its unit, San Miguel Aerocity Inc. was awarded a ₱734-billion deal to oversee, then hand over the project by the Department of Transportation after both firms signed a concession agreement for the building of the new airport at the ASEAN Convention Center in Clark Freeport Zone. The airport will be fully owned by the Philippine government under a build-operate-transfer program. DOTr allowed the SMC unit to build, maintain, and operate the airport without funding from the government for a set period of time. Its groundbreaking was supposed to begin in December. And its construction will begin in October 2020
Sangley Point Airport
- also referred to as Cavite Airport, is a domestic airport in the Philippines primarily intended to serve general aviation and turbo-propped airliners in the general vicinity of South Luzon and the Greater Manila Area. The airport is located at Sangley Point, Cavite City in the province of Cavite. The airport site will be adjacent to the Danilo Atienza Air Base and will be served with either P2P buses or a ferry from SM Mall of Asia.
Sangley Point Airport was inaugurated on February 15, 2020 by President Rodrigo Roa Duterte. Dry run of its operations was conducted on November 2019.
It is the fourth commercial airport to serve the Greater Manila Area, complementing and helping to decongest its neighbor Ninoy Aquino International Airport.
In June 2019, amid increasing congestion and flight delays of NAIA, President Rodrigo Duterte ordered the transfer of domestic and general aviation operations to Sangley. The DOTr had said it was just awaiting the construction of a passenger terminal building, hangars, a new tower, night operations equipment, and asphalt overlay of its existing 2,300-meter runway. The President directed the operations in Sangley Point to start immediately and specifically gave a November deadline of the same year
