After twenty years wait, Bukidnon Airport (RPMY) rises in Don Carlos beginning with 200 hectare lot acquisitions in the amount of ₱234 million in the works to accommodate the class one runway and aerodome complex, part of President Rodrigo Duterte's Mindanao Infrastructure Project under the Build, Build, Build Program of the DOTr.
A class one airport is capable of serving jet aircraft with a capacity of at least 100 seats while Class two airport also known as feeder airport is capable of serving propeller aircraft with a capacity of at least 19 seats.
The lot acquisition project would soon be followed by airside preparation necessary for runway construction at Maray-maray, Don Carlos, Bukidnon after the site was identified by airport consultant Philippine Japan Aviation and Airport Engineering Consultancy Inc.

The ₱3 Billion Bukidnon Airport Development Project Plan will boast a 2.1km x 45m international standard runway when fully completed oriented northeast similar in size and length to the present runway of Laguindingan airport but with a smaller modular terminal.

Hello...there is a error. RPMY is Laguindingan Airport. Newly constructed airport does not have ICAO code yet.
ReplyDeleteRPMY was the airport designation of Bukidnon in 2013 when the FS and masterplan came out. You are right that it could not be MY anymore because of Laguindingan which took it also in 2013. It could now be RPNB.For purposes of this report though we are following the FS.
ReplyDeleteThe budget is there, I just hope that this will be push soon. It will be a big help for the locals as well as the tourist. And hopefully it will be done according to the project specs., clean work without any forms of cheating. Anyway this is for everyone. Best of luck and looking forward on this masterpiece.
