New Manila International Airport (NMIA)

[Arianespace]

RSA confirmed this weekend his airport still a go. Just suffering some hiccup at the moment. Apparently instigated by NAIA consortium. Corporate wars?

There are now pictures of an island in Bulacan where the NMIA is supposed to rise. Wonder how long it would take for the land to settle.

I received a message from that other forum via e-mail about NMIA

Afaik it was the Bulacan Airport City Special Economic Zone Freeport Authority that was vetoed, the Airport and Airport City are under another bill.
The veto doesn't affect investors for the airport or airlines interested in NMIA, HB 7575 was in fact pointed out as problematic in certain feasibility studies.
The sister of the current President tried to modify to make it under the purview of the CREATE law, but apparently was not enough.

The fmr Iloilo Congresswoman Garin's bill had interesting provisions, like the one allowing for a 200,000USD Investor VISA that even covered the lands "alongside" the Airport and Airport City

CRK is still northern Luzon centric
NMIA is Metro Manila's new
SGL is still South Luzon and PR's Hub

If London has Heathrow, Gatwick, Luton, City, Stansted & Southend but have half the population, the island of Luzon may need more than 3

By the way, before it is misunderstood further, NMIA is a government airport, operated by private operator SMC. Its operational control extends only to airport operations. The rest of the reclaimed lands belongs to the government, to which SMC has long term leases. Portions of the reclaimed lands are part of the proposed SEZ.

Well, some bright guys in Congress wanted to have shares of the pie too. Accordingly, they were given advances by a real estate company not SMC related in the form of election contributions to have the deal approved. If you read the bill its really distasteful.

Another break and leak news.

Incheon Airport is going to be the airport operator of NMIA.

Isn't that they signed MOU in 2018?

Intresting since Clark International Airport will be managed by LIPAD which included Singapore Changi Airport while NMIA will be with SMC and Incheon Airport Corporation, which isn't to surprising since both had an MOU in 2021!

Just hope the PTB will have filipino then korean.

MOU isn't contract. Its like LOI when you purchase a plane. Now it seems they are going to sign it.

A post claiming NMIA project is on hold, any news about it?

If that kind of post begins to appear here, then you should be alarmed.
