On Sunday, the Effective Development Communication Unit (Edcom) of the Capitol released the statement of Edgar Mangalili of the Department of Transportation (DoTR) confirming the target completion date of the airport as “end of October”.

DoTR reported its revised date of completion to fourth quarter of 2018. Mangalili said there is no latest information on the exact date when the airport construction will be opened for commercial operation.

He said DoTR is coordinating closely with Malacañang on a date for the inauguration.

Last Friday, Bohol Gov. Edgar Chatto received updates on the airport construction from the Japan Airport Consultants. Based on the latest report, the power and water lines are already installed in the airport area by utility providers Bohol Electric Cooperative and Bohol Water Utilities Inc. respectively.

Chatto said there is a need to build a canopy to provide protection from the sun and rain for the airport users. He made the suggestion based on his observations during his recent trip to China.

Chatto is awaiting the reply of the Civil Aviation Authority of the Philippines on the request to allow the community along Alona Beach in Panglao to use the airport’s wastewater treatment facility. The usage of the airport’s facility is temporary because Alona Beach is building its facility.

The airport can share its treatment plant with Alona Beach since during its first year of operation, it will only use one-sixth of the plant’s capacity.

Construction at the new Western Sydney Airport takes off

Work to build Western Sydney Airport has begun, with ground broken on the once-in-a-generation project. The Badgerys Creek airport site is approximately 1,780 hectares, which is almost twice the size of the Sydney, Kingsford Smith Airport site.

The initial earthworks phase of construction is expected to take until the end of 2019. It involves moving around 1.8 million cubic metres of earth, which is the equivalent of about 720 Olympic swimming pools.

Qantas and Virgin have committed to flying from Western Sydney Airport, which is a major vote of confidence and reflects the strong growth forecasts for the Asia-Pacific aviation market.”

The airport is due to open in 2026 and will be a full-service airport with international, domestic and regional flights. It will also cater for freight flights, opening up new possibilities for Australian exporters and helping to tackle the nation’s growing freight task.

Arriva Malpensa Prime: il nuovo terminal pronto per il 2019

Milano avrà presto il suo Malpensa Prime, il nuovo terminal dedicato al segmento business per l’aeroporto meneghino.

Dopo il successo di Linate Prime, che nei primi sei mesi di quest’anno ha registrato un incremento di traffico del +3%, è tutto pronto per un bis a Malpensa: il nuovo terminal verrà inaugurato a giugno 2019 e offrirà tutte le facilities dedicate alla Business & General Aviation. Vale a dire: un’aerostazione per l’accoglienza di passeggeri ed equipaggi, un piazzale dedicato e un hangar, già operativo, per la sosta e il ricovero di executive jet di ultima generazione.

“Milano è la capitale del design e della moda – ha spiegato Chiara Dorigotti, direttore generale di Sea Prime – ed è una delle destinazioni internazionali più ambite nel mondo, in grado di coniugare il traffico tipicamente business con quello leisure. In tale ottica Malpensa Prime rappresenterà la porta d’accesso al cuore della Lombardia e dell’Europa e a prestigiose località turistiche, come il Lago di Como, il Ticino Svizzero e la Val d’Aosta. La sua apertura consentirà di incrementare ulteriormente l’eccellenza dei nostri servizi, a complemento dello scalo di Linate Prime, che gode di un posizionamento unico a soli 7 chilometri di distanza dal centro di Milano”.
