Bulacan International Airport Ready to Begin Construction by 2019

The 2,500-hectare international airport and aviation complex will feature four parallel runways which can be upgraded to six, state-of-the-art terminals, cargo and ancillary facilities, an adjacent industrial complex, and even its own seaport facility on the edge of Manila Bay. The massive complex will be able to accommodate about 100 million passengers per year, a stark improvement from the current airport’s maximum capacity of only 35 million split between four terminals. NAIA is currently operating way beyond its peak capacity, causing not only inconvenience but also safety issues for both passengers and airport staff. The Bulacan International Airport is approximately 27 kilometers away from the Metro Manila City proper. Once operational, SMC promises that the airport will be accessible from the city via multiple roads and expressways in 45 minutes or less. Talks on adding a new international airport to support the old NAIA has been going on for years. The Bulacan International Airport is one of the two new gateways proposed. First time flyer?
