hahaha i hope so but i guess thats just too big. i wonder who the architect is. it would be really nice if its SMO, the designer of NAIA T3 and other international airports like Changi, JFK, SFO, HK and Logan. but i guess local archi ra ila gi hire.

Actually its better if we start off with a bigger airport. Cebu City's international air traffic is expected to increase in direct proportion with its economic growth. Planning should be done 20 years from now. Second, it will appear to both local and foreign investors that Cebu city is seriously targeting them by offering expansive and top-notched infrastructure.

MarkiiBoi · March 19th, 2006, 02:32 AM

Everything will depend on the honchos of the airport bai. But who knows, maybe they really are planning of something big for the airport. But this one remains to be seen, hopefully sooner...

ryanr · March 19th, 2006, 02:36 AM

btw the architectural firm is SOM, not SMO

I hope they release more info and renderings on the airport expansion

c0kelitr0 · March 19th, 2006, 02:59 AM

hope the new terminal would be glassy and modern just like San Francisco Int'l Airport...

_zner_ · March 19th, 2006, 03:27 AM

is that the new airport? i thought it was renovated>?

MarkiiBoi · March 19th, 2006, 11:44 AM

that's our only airport bai. not new nor renovated.

The NAIA and the Mactan-Cebu International Airport are the only earning international airports in the country. Mactan may be the only airport in the country with a runway capable of accommodating superjumbo, the Airbus 380 and other new generation aircraft.

I'm pretty sure the Diosdado Macapagal International Airport can also accomodate the Airbus A380.

There was a news report last year and this has been discussed in a previous thread even last year that NAIA wouldn't have a problem landing a huge A380 in that main runway, the taxiway would be the main problem and the terminal itself because of the wider wingspan of the said aircraft, look at the runway configurations of all Philippine international airports. So, literally, all runways in the Philippines can accomodate, they just need a place to park it (disembark/embark passengers) and the other airplanes hs to stop in the taxiway to give way with A380.

i actually got that assessment from the former manager of the MCIA last year. btw, i heard Boeing's version doesn't need a runway upgrade as opposed to Airbus' daw. IMO, Boeing is giving us the impression that their jumbo planes can land in any operational international airport. and they claim this is their edge over Airbus 380s. can anyone enlighten us on this? thanks!

amras · March 21st, 2006, 09:47 AM

actually the new Boeing planes are not really "jumbos" compared to the A380 that's why they dont really need those runway upgrades.

And here's an aerial of the Asiatown which was once the Lahug Airport.

And yup kasali yung site of the Waterfront Hotel. I remembered before it was constructed, the runway lights (those that look like a fork) were still there.. I remembered too before meron pa yung Tower.. The late Senator Fernan landed here when he ran for Vice-President during the 1992 elections. I should have taken pics as remembrance but then again I was still seven years old during that time...

LordCarnal · March 21st, 2006, 10:07 AM

The Taxiways of the MCIAA are fairly wide enough for an A380.

Here are some aerials from http://www.philskies.net/forum/viewtopic.php?p=64746..

By the way the hangars for private planes and charter planes are called General Aviation Area (Gen Av). I've been there twice.

LordCarnal · March 24th, 2006, 11:57 AM

Slerz,

a budget was appropriated for the facelifting of the airport. Could it mean that this ugly concrete facade would be covered with aluminum cladding?

kiretoce · March 24th, 2006, 02:08 PM

The airport looks more like a strip mall from the outside.

rockwell baller · March 24th, 2006, 02:22 PM

based from the pictures its a real busy airport

MarkiiBoi · March 24th, 2006, 03:59 PM

it sure is with 520 commercial flights weekly , an average of 151 daily aircraft operations (landings and take-offs) transporting 7,613 passengers daily.
