CLARK ZONE, Pampanga – President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo has ordered the further development of the Diosdado Macapagal International Airport (DMIA) here into the country’s premier international airport in five years.
Emmanuel Y. Angeles, President and Chief Executive Officer of Clark Development Corp. (CDC), said that President Arroyo told him here last week with Japan Bank International Cooperation (JBIC) for an initial P2.5-billion loan package for the initial phase of the DMIA development project.
The development project, Angeles said, will include the construction of the modern air passenger terminal designed to accommodate four million passengers yearly and a third runway to service heavy, wide-bodied passenger and cargo aircraft.
Clark International Airport Corp. (CIACor) president Gen. (retired) Alberto Yap said that some $70 million would be needed from other multilateral lending institutions to fund the upgrading work on the DMIA complex by an Italian firm, Alenia Marconi.
Angeles also said President Arroyo has considered DMIA as the government’s alternative site to support the requirements of the Ninoy Aquino International Airport (NAIA) in Metro Manila.
In addition , Boeing and Airbus, world’s biggest aviation firms, are planning to set up a $250-million maintenance and logistics facility in the DMIA complex, Yap said.
Airbus is building the world’s biggest commercial airline, the A-380, a doubledeck jet plane which the company has scheduled to launch in 2006.
The DMIA complex has two parallel 3.2-kilometer runways capable of accomodating large, wide-bodied aircraft.
It has an existing passenger terminal that can service 500 passengers an hour 1.5 million passengers yearly.
The capacity of the of this terminal would be increased to four million passengers yearly in five years.
Upon full development of the DMIA complex, at least 50 international flights would be serviced daily, Angeles said.
Bienvenido Mangga, DMIA manager, said that the installation of the modern radar system will be undertaken after all the required documents will have been prepared.
