Sangly point can always be upgraded and extended. But that proposal is now out the window and Clark is now the confirmed choice.

Awesome pics btw...

Are there any commercial airlines serving Sangley currently? And is that closer to Manila than Clark?

JudeD · May 29th, 2004, 06:59 AM

Sangley Point was abandoned way back in the 70s when the Americans left it. The runway isn't being used at all. My family used to live there and we'd go biking or fly kites on the runway. Sometimes people would use it for motocross or drag racing. It's a bit closer to Manila than Clark. It's very close to the Las Pinas area. But the traffic getting there is a bit worse.

i thought the PN (or was it the PAF, or both?) was using it? it's now named Cubi Point...

Skyblade · May 31st, 2004, 06:00 PM

Wait isn't Cubi Point was in Subic?

JudeD · May 31st, 2004, 07:49 PM

Cubi Point is in Subic. It's where the Subic airport is. The Navy is using Sangley Point as a base, but they're not using the runways.

P215M apron, ramp rehab at DMIA completed

Clark Development Corporation has completed the rehabilitation and strengthening of the 7-hectare apron and taxiway at the aviation complex of Diosdado Macapagal International Airport (DMIA).
The newly rehabilitated taxiways and aprons could now accommodate wide-bodied aircraft like the MD 11 and Boeing 747. It can accommodate the 90-tonner, wide bodied commercial/cargo aircraft and 10 aircraft at any given time.
The airport infrastructure project was undertaken by RD Policarpio Const'n., Co., Inc. for P215.7M.
The project was implemented in order to enable the UPS to bring more cargo flights with heavier payload. UPS' Intra-Asian Hub mounts 16 flights a night.

Nice! It should also make it easier for Fedex to operate there in the future along with UPS. And for Boeing to set up its facilities.

archie · June 3rd, 2004, 12:52 PM

yup! if FedEx decided to move in Clark in 2007, the subic port project is also (should be) completed..
i think CDC is planning to build the 3rd runway soon...

ryanr · June 3rd, 2004, 01:10 PM

Yeah FedEx is moving to Clark

3rd runway? Cool. But is it necessary? I really hope they build the international terminal soon.

archie · June 4th, 2004, 06:29 AM

with FedEx moving in and UPS' increased cargo load plus the international flights..... i guess there is a need for a 3rd runway....

rico · June 5th, 2004, 01:53 AM

the future looks bright for clark (este diosdado macapagal international airport).

will the third runway be as long as the other two? aren't the dmia runways some sort of special runways that can accomodate NASA shuttles or something?? what's the difference between that and any other normal runway??

ryanr · June 5th, 2004, 04:28 AM

Yeah, they were built long enough, strong enough and wide enough for NASA space shuttles. I dont know if the third runway will be the same.

renell · June 5th, 2004, 11:18 AM

ah, so they're building a third runway? cool

i doubt it will be suited for space shuttles and NASA. after all, we don't have a space program

i think it will be a "normal" runway, suited for 747's and such

Skyblade · June 5th, 2004, 02:37 PM

Building a 3rd runway sounds like progress to me...

Yeah, the americans just made the 2 runways suited for Space Shuttles as a backup in case of emergencies. Now, we dont need that anymore so the third runway should be enough for 747s and A380s...

SunKing · June 5th, 2004, 03:15 PM

That 3rd runway's gonna be useful if FedEx decides to operate the A380 to its Asian routes.

ryanr · June 5th, 2004, 03:23 PM

FedEx ordered A380s? cool. Yeah, then a third runway will be very useful for both cargo and passenger traffic.
