Aviation experts bare ‘twin airport’ concept
CLARK FREEPORT–Aviation experts said Clark International Airport (CIA) need not compete with the country’s premier airport Ninoy Aquino International Airport (NAIA) but complement its operation instead.
Captain Benjamin Solis, adviser to the Clark International Airport Corporation, introduced the “Twin Airport” concept during the first Clark Aviation Conference here on Thursday.
The “Twin Airport” concept, according to Solis, will not replace NAIA but will play as “twin” to CIA.
“NAIA should not be replaced. It can serve as a southern gateway to the greater capital region. A twin to CIA,” Solis said.
While NAIA serves the south, Solis said CIA should serve the north.
“Clark can serve the role of rationalizing NAIA’s capacity challengers by providing the airlines the opportunity of a second gateway in Luzon,” Solis.
Since CIA is the hub of low cost carriers (LCCs) at present, Solis said the airport should be expanded to be a major hub and gateway for these LCCs.
Solis’ “Twin Airport” concept was backed by University of Asia and the Pacific Professor Bernardo Villegas.
“Clark is the perfect location for a second gateway in the country. The government should stop talks of Cavite, Bulacan and others. They have no runways to talk about,” Villegas said.
Villegas, also a consultant on management development and strategic planning, added that Japanese, Chinese and Korean investors prefer to put their businesses in Central Luzon since Metro Manila is congested.
Aside from the “Twin Airport” concept, CIA Adviser Solis also bared some recommendations for NAIA and CIA.
For NAIA, he said it should not be operated beyond its capacity limits and that improvements there should be on the enhancement of its facilities rather than the expansion of its infrastructure.
For CIA, Solis said a budget terminal should be constructed to service LCCs and provide for their expansion in the next 10 years.
Also, he said the concentration of LCCs in Clark and their eventual expansion in network size will create a market forecasted to reach an output of 15 million passengers in 10 years time.
Solis added that under the land use of plan, a full service gateway terminal with a capacity of up to 80 million passengers can be put to Clark, supported by two more parallel runways.
Recently, Emirates Airline announced its newest flight to Dubai from CIA starting October 1, 2013.
Some of the LCCs in ClA are AirAsia Philippines, Zest Air, AirAsiaBerhad Malaysia, Cebu Pacific Airlines, AirPhil Express, Seair-Tiger Airlines and JinAir.
Meanwhile, long haul carriers include Dragon Air and Asiana Airlines.
CIAC President and Chief Executive Officer Victor Jose Luciano has been working for the airport’s expansion for years now. ●Charlene A. Cayabyab
