Are you anti-developments? Don't you know kay tagal nang hinintay ng business communities ang project na 'to? How could it is a waste of money that this airport will serve two highly urbanized cities. FYI, this Laguindingan Airport will decongest the Cagayan de Oro Airport (Lumbia airport), whose 250,000 annual passenger capacity has already been exceeded. Hindi kasi maexpand ang CDO airport due to its unfitted geographical location kaya dito nalang sa Laguindingan. How could if there are hardly planes landing? The Lumbia Airport (CDO) will be sold out soon if Laguindingan airport is in operation just like the old Ilo-ilo airport. OK?

[FrancisXavier]

no, of course not..he's not anti developments... alam mo na kung anti "what" sya...

busy rin naman ang Lumbia..
5J (CGY-MNL vv) currently has 3 flights daily, 4 flights T TH S(soon to be 4 daily).
(CGY-CEB vv) 3 times a week

PR has 3 flights daily. 4 flights W M F (?)

2P has a daily flight. 2 flights T TH S

6K (CGY-CEB) has a daily flight.


8-11 com'l flights daily. Not bad for a city not really recognized(by media) as a tourist destination and of only half a million people.

As almost everyone in this forum knows, Laguindingan Airport was the earliest conceptualized Airport amon the 3 Huge Airport projects LIA, Bacolod & Iloilo Airports. Ito yung nauna i-conceptualize kasi ito ang magsisilbi sa CDO - Iligan. Medyo nga lang na-delay kumpara sa dalawa kasi sa pulitika or unknown reasons

Anyway this Int'l Airport will soon fortify NorMin's dynamic Economy at tutulong para mapanatili ang status ng rehiyon as the Fastest Growing Region in the South. Greter CDO and Iligan will surely be the New Face of Progress for the South.

Lols Ilo-ilo and Lumbia is a different but case. Ilo ilo and Bacolod airport was transfered not because they had reached full of capacity,but simply because both were considered hazardous to approaching aircraft because of huge urban encroachment around that airport. Any case of of overshooting or accident will cause great damage to sorounding communities like that of TAM accident in Congonhas.

Lumbia is a different story. The airport itself is not that decongested,but the terminal is decongested. A single runway airport can support around 10-30 million passengers a year proven by former Hong Kong-Kai Tak,Milan-Linate and London Gatwick, If proper infrastructure and management is implemented. Nasaan pa lang ba ang pax numbers ng CGY? You dont move a house because you can't fit in one room, You expand it ..that I guess is applicable to Lumbia. There's still lot of room for expansion in the sorrounding area. besides Do you think merging the aviation operation of two cities with one very distant airport is a good idea?..I dont think so. That was the case between Bonn and Dusseldorf long time ago,but eventually have to part ways anyway because of economic reasons and that's Bonn and Dusseldorf. In an economic infrastructural studies, That is called "infrastructural budding". A term taken form Botany. If you want a specimen to grow and multiply. Divide them into two plots and let them grow independently not unify them.

IMO it would be better if both Iligan and CGY will retain to have their OWN airport rather than combine its operation into one, Each city will be able to manage their own growth independently. What they needed now is for their airports to expand its the runways and contruct brand new terminals...

My two cents worth....

Say good bye to Lumbia?

but CGY and Iligan need each other for growth tsaka diba kaya di na i-expand ang lumbia dahil delikado ang lugar/terrain?

so ilipat na lang sa mas ideal (and mas may room for expansion) which is laguindingan nga

sabagay sa flight sim madalas ako madisgrasya dun

I remember flying to Manila from Cotabato City and the the plane had to have a lay over in CDO to drop off some rotarians who attended the recently concluded convention in Cot City. When the plane was descending to the Lumbia Airport, the pilot was obvioulsy having a hard time maneuvering with the strong gust of wind. The plane's right wing was rattling like crazy...I thought that was the end of me as the plane was almost like losing it's balance before it could touch down on the runway. After that hellish experience, I said never again in Lumbia.

Landing in Lumbia Airport is akin to landing in the old Hongkong Airport-Kai Tak. In Hongkong, the pilots have to have sharp skills at dodging skyscrapers on the flight path whereas in Lumbia, the challenge is with the mountain range surrounding the flight path coupled with the extraordinarily strong gust of wind.

nice observsation. tama at magtatayo ng isang ideal airport sa ideal na lugar. after all safety and passenger convenience should always come first

if you've been to Lumbia airport, you would realize how ilogical your statements are..

both CGY and IGN need this aiport.. but i dont think the two need each other for growth.. IGN can stand on its own as much as CGY could. IGN beeing the manufacturer of industrial materials while CGY beeing the food manufacturer. "Spliting" the 2 wouldnt mean lesser growth for each..

opinion based on the pictures/photos. for one to be respected, his remarks should be credible enough by personally setting foot on the place he is trying to asses.

[lochinvar]

Relax! The die is cast. Laguindingan will be built and Lumbia is going to be closed. Any opinion here will surely be for cosmetic purposes only.

i do not see anything malicious... although FX could be wrong but that DEFINETLY WASNT MALICIOUS.

The Cagayan de Oro & Iligan airport will be up for sale once the Laguindingan Airport in Misamis Oriental is operational. I think that's why @boju cited Iloilo Airport as an example. The purpose of the transfer is another story though.

IMHO both airport has no room for expansion due to its irregular terrain. The municipality of Laguindingan is the best site to build another airport.

@lew I concur. IGN can stand on its own as much as CGY could. Both cities contribute for the regions growth.
