PARAÑAQUE CITY, Oct. 2 (PIA)-- Despite the impending transition towards a public-private partnership (PPP) setup, the Manila International Airport Authority (MIAA) yesterday said that it will still implement infrastructure projects at the Ninoy Aquino International Airport (NAIA).
One of which is the continuing construction of the extension of 1500-meter Taxiway November fronting the apron of Terminal 3 which will be extended by 640 meters
The project, which stands at a 76-percent completion rate, will entail connecting Taxiway November Extension to Taxiway Charlie.
The P452-million extension project aims to further decongest the taxiway, particularly at the intersection of the runways and to facilitate ground handling flexibility of international operations.
Construction began in November 2014 and is expected to be completed by the end of October this year.
MIAA Assistant General Manager for Operations Engr. Ricardo Medalla Jr. also bared plans for the construction of two more rapid exit taxiways (RETs) which will further minimize runway occupancy times of aircraft on the runway.
One RET with a size of 20,708 sq. meters will be positioned at the west side of the main runway while another one at the east side with a size of 12,890 sq. meters.
There are currently two RETs in place at the NAIA. Flight events per hour will increase by two following the completion of the project.
The construction of the P300-million project is slated for next year while completion by 2017. (MIAA/RJB/SDL/PIA-NCR)
