I failed to update this to reflect this story from GMA news. Few might missed this very important part, as previously stated in my post.
After final planning, design and financial closing, the work would immediately begin with the construction of a 4.6-kilometer connector road from the Kawit Interchange of Cavitex that would lead to Sangley, with the time of completion estimated at two years, according to the consortium.
I just wanna ask what happend to the proposal to moved turboprop aircraft and general-aviation from MNL to SGY it seem that the proposal didn't push through? With proposals to banned regional aircraft at MNL will the proposal be revived? And will CRK also play a role in domestic flights?
The clearance given by the PCC is one of the critical government approvals necessary for the project's successful development,” said Leonides J.M. Virata, authorized representative of SPIA Development Consortium, in a statement.
“SPIA remains committed to delivering this project with international standards and recommended practices to be safely operated in accordance with government regulation,” he added.
quite late in the race. it will take 2 years to do land reclamation and 10 years to build the airport - seem everything is just done in jest.
Bulacan, NNIC, and SPIA have influences on the slowed down completion of the NSCR because of its significant output that will mature CRK to finally get its break as major gateway

The plan to move turboprop and general-aviation aircraft is still there, according to Sec. JJB. He said it here last month.
THE renovation of Ninoy Aquino International Airport's (NAIA) Terminal 4 starts on November 6, the New NAIA Infrastructure Corp. (NNIC) has announced.
The goal is to modernize the terminal, improve passenger experience and prioritize safety upgrades, NNIC said. The renovation is expected to be completed by February 2025.
Now, connect this statement to what I said at the other thread for Manila. It now appears that it is heading in that direction.
Why would I say so?
As it would turn out to be (fees are now increasing exponentially), It would become too expensive for turboprop operations to operate at privately operated and managed NAIA as NNIC wants more money from international carriers that would want their slot. I was told, 1 turboprop slot is equivalent to 6x the money the operator would generate if it were an international flight. 1:6 ratio. That is big. And NNIC is bent on making the 3:6 rate in 5 years time. Why? Because they have obligation to pay national government 50B pesos per annum.
And if you think that is not happening, think again!
SAN MIGUEL-LED New NAIA Infrastructure Corp. (NNIC), the new operator of the country’s main gateway, will now start collecting higher landing and take-off fees from airlines, the Department of Transportation (DoTr) said.
“The increase is actually high. It is almost double, but the rates — the last increase was in the year 2000 — so for the last 24 years, there have been no increases in fees that were charged at the airport,” Transportation Secretary Jaime J. Bautista said on the sidelines of the European Chamber of Commerce of the Philippines Aviation Summit 2024 on Wednesday.
This is actually what the consortium is waiting for. And yes, the completion of the wide access road that is being build right now. Balesin and other genav operators are already there. Landing is cheap, and airfare would be too when relocation is decided. Airlines would be forced to relocate due to prohibitive cost that is already affecting their bottomline.
CEB is seriously considering this airport next year as its turboprop home for its 20 ATR fleet that is being eased out from its home at T4. They will have more slots too. Make sense?
