Four more domestic airport is scheduled to be rated for night flights next year as the Department of Transport (DOTr) schedules bid for the supply and installation of Intrument Landing Systems (ILS) and Distance Measuring Equipments (DMEs), and night lights installation to four domestic airports in Mindanao.
DOTr identified the airports of Cotabato, Dipolog, Ozamiz, and Pagadian Cities as the beneficiaries of the state of the art equipment which will be made operational next year.
The Transport Department said the first airport to be installed with ILS equipment are those with existing operational runway and apron lights.
According to Department of Budget and Management (DBM) they already allotted a budget of ₱986 million to equip the airports in northwestern Mindanao and Cotabato with ILS and DME technology together with support equipment that will allow them to operate at night.

Together with these projects Diokno also said that they will bid out the Operations and Maintenance contract of Davao and Laguindingan airports before the end of the year so that airport expansion will begin next year for completion in 2021.

Hello Ariane! I would like to ask if kailan ang night rating ng DPL. And also since tumaas ang passenger traffic ng DPL, is it because of tourist or the local demand for travel is growing faster? Do we have better foreign tourist arrival now compare 5 years ago? Thank you!
ReplyDeleteHello Dave. Procurement of DVOR/DME and ILS facility is deferred due covid. It would have been up and running in 2021. Maybe you should also see how DPL airport would look like 20 years from now. https://scontent.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t1.15752-9/p403x403/265768944_2640148566131431_967673487224709787_n.png?_nc_cat=110&ccb=1-5&_nc_sid=aee45a&_nc_eui2=AeHJbhFoYyCSgtU99VkQ_CZVzFs3-pDumDDMWzf6kO6YMM5pLEoXI1Km5sfRft8Gamw&_nc_ohc=7WMeB9bNdo8AX-wXF3O&_nc_ad=z-m&_nc_cid=0&_nc_ht=scontent.xx&oh=03_AVLZZ5jhqsWUcneVmw_0ll7DbMMmSb3779qQLncNGECXuw&oe=61FCAEF1
