5J ILO-CDO flight will operate on a daily basis starting Feb. 8, 2012.

This would be interesting to see if it happens. A 747 freighter will fly into CGY with relief supplies. I wonder if the runway at Laguindingan would be better? In a emergency like this, that would be the way to go. Go in and out during the daytime. The new airport would know that the first plane to land there was a jumbo.

we all know that CGY's runway can accommodate the 747. my question is, can the taxiway and ramps handle such a big plane? paano na kung may darating na commercial flights at nandun sa ramp ang 747 ng TNT?

I don't think it can. Siguro kung sa Laguindingan pwede pa, pero kung sa Laguindingan, the length of the runway would be questioned since it's only 2km long.

Mercy Flight to Cagayan de Oro
Merry Christmas to Everyone!! -- AirAsia mercy flight to Cagayan de Oro. We carried 8.5 tons of fortified biscuits for UN World Food Programme for those hit by the storm in areas of Cagayan de Oro and Iligan City. Our Airbus A320 was packed with goodies and left for CDO this morning December 24.

Mukhang sa NAIA nagland ang plane ng TNT.

I thought Lumbia Airport has a longer runway compared to the newer one in Laguindingan. as far as I can remember someone posted in Airlines and Airports thread that Lumbia Airport actually had a B747 visit by PAL before.

Parang may nakita rin akong video nun na may nag land na B747 ng PAL sa CGY.

That was long ago. Maybe even before PAL started to deploy 747s to GenSan. Is CGY the first to accomodate 747 in Mindanao? Can somebody confirm?

The Lumbia runway is longer but Laguindingan has two advantages, the straight approach, and the capability to lengthen the runway easily.

[Shoktong]

Yup. Lumbia's runway is aproximately 2400 meters, as compared to Laguindingan's 2100 meters.

what do you mean with straight approach? I think Lumbia does have a precise straight approach on rnwy 19 though aircrafts has to do the left base for rnwy 01. i think it would also be almost the same on the future LADP on both ends of it's runway.

I know what you mean. In all my travels there we have always landed from the Pueblo end, thus the complicated approach. One time we did land from the other end and I know that is straight but the aircraft does not stray far from the runway but rather makes a hard 180 degree turn and lands. Laguindingan has a clear approach form either direction with no obstacles.

GenSan Airport was the first airport in mindanao to accomodate a Boeing 747. Boeing 747-200 pa yun ng PAL. That was in 2000 pa.

Yep, I know about the GenSan thing pero may nakita talaga akong video nuon na may nag land na 747 sa Lumbia CGY. I know it was Lumbia kasi kitang kita yung mga letters sa other side ng runway stating "Cagayan de Oro Airport, Mabuhay"...I thing sa TVP NM ko yun napanood.

Sana may makapg post nun dito.
