Aviation Updates Philippines – On
Tuesday, the Department of Transportation (DOTr) announced the new passenger
terminal building at Clark International Airport has been completed by the end
of September, ahead of the target completion date of October this year.
The DOTr said in a Facebook post: "Despite the current challenges brought by
the COVID-19 pandemic, the Department of Transportation (DOTr), Bases
Conversion and Development Authority (BCDA), and GMR Megawide, ensured the
accelerated construction works at CRK, and thus made a huge headway, while
still observing strict health and safety protocols to protect workers and
other project stakeholders."
Per instructions of Transportation Secretary Arthur Tugade, the new terminal
is expected to be operational by January 2021.
The new terminal would enable Clark airport to service 12.2 million passengers
per year, up significantly from only 4.2 million per year in the current
terminal. The expansion project aims to name Clark as "Asia's Next Premier
Gateway," being an alternative to the Ninoy Aquino International Airport.
Clark, among the planned airports in Sangley and Bulacan, were specifically
planned as alternatives to decongest NAIA. Meanwhile, San Miguel Corporation
has recently been given franchise to operate the New Manila International
Airport in Bulacan.
