Lahi ra jud basta ginama sa mga artist kay masterpiece jud. Way pagkunhob sa face value...in fact gataas nuon in the passing of time. Sana hindi ito mabaon sa limot...sayang din talaga...

Busy time of arrivals: 5 Am to 6 Am, 3 pm to 4 pm, 8pm to 930 pm

so.. basing on this plus the fact that at least 2 hours before the flight... it is best to avoid these times para makaupo tayo sa mga silya ng waiting area fronting gates 6,7 and 8...

gate 5 kasi if i remember right is the one hall that is enclosed when you enter the predeparture..yung katabi ng Mabuhay lounge (not the VIP or Canteen). I think that is being used by zest Air....

they can also use the old terminal na. sayang din yun. magagamit din yun. it just needs major renovation. the old ramp can accomodate around 2 a320's and one a330 side by side simultaneously.

terminal 1 and terminal 2 na tayo. hehehehe.

hahaa...ka cute, pwd gani terminal 1, 2 and 3......hahaha...bitaw, diba apil man sa plan na i-ayos ang old terminal ang the construction sa parallel taxiway?...speaking of expansion, hantud ing-ana lang jud ang ka-lapad sa new ramp nato? or pwd pa cya ma-extend, kay na pansin nko sa unahan sa ATC naa pay DAKU na lot na pwd ma ma expand...

basta dapat jud ma-sugdan na ang parallel taxiway, to relieved congestion...

Edit: to answer my own question: i think they did, since the gates can accommodate the 747 and 777, but sana they made the predep and baggage areas bigger

mao jud, and in the 90s, A330s were already flying to DVO, hehehe...ang ang B744 can accomodate up 400 plus passenger and the B773 can accommodate up to 385 passengers, plus the narrow bodies pa? unsaon nalang sa duha ka conveyors? actually ok lang man na duha, pro dapat DAKO KAAU ang conveyors and also the area... hehehe

[ryairyan]

tama diay, kay napansin nko ug nabasa pud, bays 1, 2, 6 and 7 are for A300 and below... and ang Bays 3, 4, 5, 8 and 9 are for B744 and below, Total of 9 aircraft lang, plus the old ramp na 1 A330/ A343 and 2 A320( I guess, pwd pud A321 and B757 and below eh) total of 12 aircraft at a time...kung pwd pa ma expand ang new ramp much better! hehehe...malay nato in time naa nay A380 na gusto mag anhi sa DIA, although we can handle the take off and landing kay max take off weight at max take off run sa A380 is 2,800m man...i don't know lng kung maka taxi ang A380...pro db 36m man ang width sa A3 and A4???????

[QUOTE=calbayognon;77687971][FONT="Arial Black"][SIZE="2"]Hindi pa naman siguro kasi sa Cebu na mas maraming flight di pa masyadong crowded kasi may dead hours naman. In fact ngayon lang dinadagdagan ng dalawang boarding tubes at waiting lounges. Here are the number of flights to Cebu (one way):

Airphilexpress (Manila, Davao, Bacolod, Cagayan, Iloilo, Tacloban, Ozamis, Caticlan, Zamboanga)---- 126 flights/week
(Singapore)---- 7 flights/week

Cebu Pacific (Manila, Davao, Iloilo, Cagayan, Tacloban, Ozamis, Butuan, Surigao, Caticlan, General Santos, Puerto Princesa, Clark, Legaspi, Dumaguete, Siargao, Zamboanga, Bacolod)---- 233 flights/week
(Singapore---- 7/week; Hongkong-7/week; Seoul-7/week;Busan-4/week: Total: 25/week

Philippine Airlines ( Manila)----- 56 flights/week
(Tokyo and Seoul)---- 12 flights/week

Zestair (Manila)----35 flights/week

Seair (Caticlan)----7 flights/week

Cathay Pacific (Hongkong)----7 flights/week
Asiana Airlines (Seoul)---- 7 flights/week
Korean Airlines (Seoul)---- 7 flights/week
Qatar Airways (Doha)---- 3 flights/week
Airbusan (Busan)---- 4 flights/week
Silkair Singapore)--- 7 flights/week TOTAL: 536 FLIGHTS/WEEK (Roundtrip is 1072)

Sa July ang Seair will fly to Cebu from Manila 5x/day or 35x/week; 5J will also add another flight from Manila.

Great stats Calbayognon. Can you do that for Kalibo and Clark too please ?

Hmmm...ang daming rumors actually. Una ATO-CAAP, sunod maging headquarters daw, sunod maging museum... sunod LTO..... hindi talaga malaman kung ano plan... but most probably it will be an office of an agency.

However, totoo bang may mga Informal settlers na?


about sikipan sa loob ng pre departure ng DIA....., Mactan Cebu has a large pre departure space and the pre departure holding area compared to DIA and that is why, it can get more passengers waiting in one spot compared to DIA. Ang medyo mahirap lang sa Mactan Cebu is the check in counters because it has many flights but has a few check in counters/vis flights to accept passengers kaya ang pila mahaba. The check in hall itself is already small considering the passenger loads that has to be processed for check in. I do think the good GM of MCIAA who is also lurking and a forumer already has plans to decongest the check in area.......

The waiting conditions in DIA gets worse most often pag nadedelay ang mga flights....

bakit di na lang kasi re-open at i-operate ang old DIA, let say para sa mga smaller or LCC airlines.... imo, tawagin na lang syang TERMINAL 2 to be connected to the new DIA TERMINAL 1 via (hold your breath, katkat tong sasabihin ko ) an underground tunnel or a sky train like those in SQ, FRA or DIA (denver international airport )

CAAP can't afford to run two terminals. If maintaining one is already a struggle, how much more for two. Best way is to make money out of that old terminal.

sabi nga niya katkat... it was just like a dream...

in reality, hindi rin puwede maging another functioning terminal ang old DIA as most of the area is under the military/airforce already......
