Argentina: Inversión de $6.000 M para el aeropuerto de Córdoba

El Ministro de Transporte, Guillermo Dietrich, anunció hoy en el aeropuerto Ambrosio Taravella de la capital cordobesa la ampliación y remodelación de la terminal a través de una inversión de $6.000 millones. Las obras, a cargo de Transporte y AA2000, se ejecutarán en los próximos 2 años y generarán 3.300 empleos

Las obras incluyen la ampliación de los dos edificios actuales, con nuevos mostradores de atención al cliente o puestos de Check-In, nuevas mangas o pasarelas, áreas más amplias de espera y áreas de embarque, nuevas cintas de equipaje, entre otras mejoras. También la pista quedará completamente repavimentada, con nuevas calles de rodaje y balizamiento y se triplicarán los estacionamientos, se sumará un nuevo edificio para bomberos y tecnología de aeronavegación.

En los últimos 3 años, la terminal cordobesa se consolidó como un hub de vuelos, multiplicando su número de pasajeros y cantidad de vuelos locales e internacionales.

Mientras que en 2015 solo utilizaron la terminal 1,5 millones de pasajeros, en 2018 se llegó a los 3,3 millones. En octubre, el crecimiento fue del 27% en el mercado doméstico respecto del año pasado, y en septiembre los pasajeros internacionales crecieron 20%.

Las conexiones de vuelos domésticas eran 6 en 2015 y hoy se triplicaron a 19 mientras que las conexiones internacionales desde y hacia la terminal cordobesa son 15.

Bahamas: Plans For Two New Family Island Airports

The government still intends to build two new family island airports by way of public private partnership, Tourism and Aviation Minister Dionisio D’Aguilar said Friday.

Exuma and North Eleuthera are to receive upgraded airports next, the minister said as he explained that those with the highest activity will be prioritised. He said Friday he wants to begin one new facility every six months.

More than eight months ago, Mr D’Aguilar told the House of Assembly of these plans. At the time he told members each project could cost around $35m. The high cost presents a compelling case for the use of PPPs in this instance.

The minister was asked Friday about the state of airports in the country and how officials intended to keep up with better tourist arrivals, which they said have been exceptional this year.

“So as you know there are 28 airports in the family islands. There is a lot of airports,” he said.“The amount of funds to upgrade them all to world class level is beyond our budget. So we are in a systematic way gonna do the busiest airports first.

“In 2011/2012 they did the Marsh Harbour airport. Based on a study that was done the next busiest one is Exuma. The one after that is North Eleuthera. So we are going to focus on those two next.

“Exuma I think we are very close to finishing the design of that. We’re very close to putting that out to bid. Obviously to build these airports will require funds and so the government is exploring public private partnerships.

Going to these private sector companies and saying look we would like to develop this airport are you prepared to partner with us in coming up with the funds and leading the construction?

“Because if you do one airport at a time it will take forever. So my vision is we gotta start Exuma and then six months later start North Eleuthera and that’s going to require a lot of funds in order to do that so we have to look to the private sector to see where they can assist in helping us to achieve our goal to deliver a much better airport product.

“In many instances tourism and tourism infrastructure has outgrown the airport and we need a bigger airport to accommodate the growth.

Philippines: Award of crucial airport projects seen in early ’19

With roughly a month to go before the end of the year, the Department of Transportation (DOTr) acknowledged that the final awarding of key private sector-proposed airport projects in Manila and Bulacan could be completed by early 2019 at the soonest.
Transportation Undersecretary for planning Reuben Reinoso yesterday said the two projects—San Miguel Corp.’s P800-billion international airport in Bulacan province and Naia Consortium’s P102-billion offer to modernize and operate the Ninoy Aquino International Airport—had yet to be cleared by the Investment Coordination Committee of the National Economic and Development Authority.

The two projects form part of the DOTr’s so-called multiairport policy, which aims to address worsening congestion in Naia, the Philippines’ main gateway.
The go-ahead of the Neda-ICC will be followed by the approval of the Neda Board, which is chaired by President Duterte. As unsolicited proposals, the final step is a bidding process known as Swiss Challenge, which requires at least 60 days.
Reinoso said they were still targeting to launch the Swiss Challenge, wherein rival bidders would be allowed to submit offers, before the end of 2018. But he explained that this would depend on when the projects would be approved by the Neda ICC.
Reinoso said the offer of Naia Consortium, a group of seven conglomerates, remained with the Neda-ICC pending the submission of additional documents by the Manila International Airport Authority.
He added that the concession agreement for SMC’s airport offer was being reviewed by the Department of Finance and Office of the Solicitor General. It will then be handed over to the Neda-ICC for “reconfirmation.”
Naia Consortium and SMC hold original proponent status (OPS) for their respective projects. This means they both carry a big advantage during the Swiss Challenge. OPS holders can still win the project because they have the right to match rivals with better bids.
Naia Consortium’s members are Ayala Corp., Aboitiz Equity Ventures, Alliance Global Group Inc., Asia Emerging Dragon, Filinvest Development Corp., JG Summit Holdings Inc. and Metro Pacific Investments Corp. Its technical partner is Changi Airports International.
Through a 15-year concession, Naia Consortium wants to increase capacity in Naia to around 65 million passengers yearly in four years. This is double the existing design capacity of 31 million passengers a year. Naia’s four passenger terminals served 42 million passengers in 2017.
On the other hand, SMC is planning a brand-new airport in Bulakan, Bulacan, that will have as many as six parallel runways and a capacity of over 100 million passengers yearly.

Another key part of the multiairport strategy is Clark International Airport, Pampanga’s gateway that is currently being expanded under the public-private partnership scheme.
