Philippine Airlines to Build New Terminal


Philippine Airlines President and Chief Operating Officer Jaime Bautista said PAL was finalizing a new proposal to the Manila International Airport  Authority and Department of Transportation to build a new passenger terminal beside its current Airport NAIA Centennial Terminal 2 which was the location of Old Nayong Pilipino Complex.

Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte earlier threated to close the Ninoy Aquino International Airport Terminal 2 if Philippines Airlines Holdings Inc. the Parent firm of PAL did not settle its unpaid navigational fees to the government. Philippine Airlines Holding Inc. earlier reported a total comprehensive loss of 1.05 Billion Pesos in the January to June period, a turnaround from profit of 4.62 billion year on year.

Philippine Airlines plans to build a 20 Billion Pesos passenger terminal which could handle 12 million to 15 million passenger a year and feature aerobridges capable of serving 12 to 17 wide bodied and single aisle jets.

Philippine Airlines expects to start construction of the new terminal by December 2020 and operate it by July 2021.
