The Department of Transportation and Communications (DOTC) is still gathering consensus for the need to replace the congested Ninoy Aquino International Airport (Naia) with Clark International Airport (CIA) in Clark, Pampanga.
\n\u201cClearly, there is no decision yet, but based on what I\u2019ve heard and how I\u2019ve been briefed, we are headed to Clark,\u201d said Transportation Secretary Joseph Abaya.
\n\u201cI\u2019m still trying to form [a decision] if there is indeed a consensus to move there because there are a lot of conditions [that have to be satisfied] before that could be viable\u2026the study of a speed rail and the winding down of NorthRail. So there\u2019s a lot of prerequisites before you could clearly say we are definitely moving to Clark,\u201d Abaya said.
\nEarlier, the International Air Transport Association (IATA) urged the Philippine government to drop the plan to transform CIA as the country\u2019s main international airport next to the Naia, saying that this is not the solution to address capacity shortage.
\n\u201cClark is not a solution to long-term issue capacity to service the market because it\u2019s too far away from Manila and it\u2019s in Manila where people want to come for business, for tourism, among others. Something needs to be done to provide adequate capacity in Manila but Clark is not a solution,\u201d said Tony Tyler, director general and chief executive officer of IATA.
\n CIA is 100 kilometers away from Manila with no affordable and efficient transport link. Even if the government constructs a high-speed railway system to transport passengers coming from the metropolis all the way to Clark, Tyler suggested that the government spend the money elsewhere, possibly for an alternative airport within Manila.
\n\u201cIt\u2019s better to spend it on a significant market,\u201d said Tyler.
\nThere were plans to use the NorthRail project as the high-speed railway, but talks between the Philippines and China were stalled.
\n\u201cThe decision was to wind down and we are now entering an arbitration case with the Chinese government. The purpose of which is to determine how much and who pays who. We would have to commission the OGCC [Office of the Government Corporate Counsel]. For Clark to be viable we need a high-speed rail. We must see the viability of the high-speed rail. It is being studied right now,\u201d said Abaya.
\nAnother solution is to construct another airport close to Manila, but Abaya said he has yet to be informed about this.
\n\u201cWe have not heard formally from anyone who wants to build an airport in Bulacan,\u201d said Abaya.
\nEarlier, Philippine Airlines proposed to build an international airport in a still-undisclosed place that is close to Manila.
