Conglomerate San Miguel Corporation, the company behind the P740-billion New Manila International Airport (NMIA) in Bulacan, is also eyeing to take over the country’s premier gateway Ninoy Aquino International Airport.
SMC president and COO Ramon Ang has confirmed the plan to GMA News Online.
“Yes, NAIA... [to] operate and maintain only,” Ang said in a text message.
San Miguel’s bid came after the Manila International Airport Authority (MIAA) revoked the original proponent status (OPS) of Megawide Construction Corp. and its Bangalore-based consortium partner GMR Infrastructure Ltd. to rehabilitate NAIA.
