ANO NANGYARI! SA NEW MANILA INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT UPDATE

MANILA, Philippines — Diversified conglomerate San Miguel Corp. (SMC) is delaying development works at its Bulacan airport project by about a year to focus on the modernization of the Ninoy Aquino International Airport (NAIA).

“The government wants to delay it a little bit because they want us to take care of NAIA first before the other one,” SMC president and CEO Ramon Ang told The STAR.

SMC was previously targeting to start airport development works at its P740-billion international gateway in Bulacan dubbed the New Manila International Airport (NMIA) project by next year.
We will do it by 2026 instead,” Ang said.

SMC last month reported that progress for the land development works for NMIA was at 77 percent, with airport development works targeted to commence in 2025.

The 2,500-hectare NMIA project will feature at least four parallel runways, a world class terminal and a modern and interlinked infrastructure network that includes expressways and railways.
