SMC Hires ADP To Design Bulacan Airport

Fernandes confirms Talk with Ang


13 August 2019

San Miguel Corp. said Tuesday it tapped the services of global companies Groupe ADPi, Meinhardt Group and Jacobs Engineering Group to design and build New Manila International Airport in Bulacan.

SMC president and chief operating officer Ramon Ang said the passenger terminal building it propose to build will be capable of accommodating 20 million passengers a year.

Meanwhile, AirAsia Chief Executive Officer (CEO) Tony Fernandes said they are planning to aggressively increase their market share in the Philippines.

How exactly, he doesn't say. Air Asia Philippines can't launch more flight in and out of Manila. But he did leave a clue.

“I just had a meeting and for this year the Philippines and Indonesia will be our two biggest growth stories and we will add as many [planes] as we can,” Fernandes said. AirAsia currently holds an 18-percent market share in the country’s commercial aviation industry.

“[The important thing is to] get all the aircraft while there is a continuous growth of airport facilities especially in the next two to three years and we have to be very ready. The moment we get all the slots in the airport we can accommodate more aircraft,” he added.

“More aircraft, more slots in the airport that will give us more destinations—provinces and international—we will surely increase our market share very, very soon,” he said.

Philippines AirAsia grow volume by 30 percent to 6.87 million passengers in 2018. It expects to transport 8 million passengers in 2019.
