PAL urges creation of airport masterplan
The Philippine Star
|October 10, 2025
Flag carrier Philippine Airlines (PAL) has urged government and private partners to come up with a Unified National Airport Masterplan to increase the country’s chances of keeping up with peers on visitor arrivals.
MISSION WITH A HEART: Philippine Airlines, in coordination with the Lucio Tan Group, government agencies and private sector partners, airlifted nearly 20 tons of humanitarian cargo for residents affected by the recent quake in Cebu. A PAL Cargo team loaded the donations onto a PAL aircraft, including 3,000 three-liter water containers from the Lucio Tan Group and Asia Brewery Corp, as well as hygiene and psychosocial kits from the Philippine Red Cross.
At the 2025 Philippine Aviation Summit, PAL chief operating officer Carlos Luis Fernandez said public and private stakeholders have to immediately craft a masterplan for airport development.
The masterplan has to outline the role of the Ninoy Aquino International Airport in the future, as gateways in Clark and Bulacan are competing for air traffic in Mega Manila.
