Laguindingan Airport – Historic Traffic Assessment
Lumbia Airport was amongst the five (5) busiest airports in the Philippines in terms of
passenger traffic. Growth for the airport has been fueled by introduction of low cost
airlines in this region such as Cebu Pacific and AirPhil Express, increasing their capacities
on the major routes connecting to Cagayan De Oro and Butuan. The graph below shows
the correspondence of aircraft movements and passenger traffic at Lumbia airport until the
year 2013.
Over the years, traffic has increased from 0.51 million in 1997 to 1.63 million in 2013.

New Bohol (Panglao) Airport Background
The Province of Bohol is a strategic cluster for the National Tourism Development
Strategy of the Philippines, home of unique natural sites and beach resorts. The Province
is currently served by Tagbilaran airport (IATA: TAG – ICAO: RPVT), in complement with
ferry connections to Cebu.
In cooperation with the Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA), the DOTC has
selected a site on the western island of Panglao for the construction of a new international
airport costing PHP 7.2 billion.
Catchment Area for Panglao Airport
The New Bohol Airport will become a core element in the development of the tourism and
resort industry, allowing the Province of Bohol to compete with popular Asian destinations
in Southeast Asia. The current airport of Tagbilaran has reached its full capacity and is
physically and operationally constrained [hilly surrounding terrain preventing Instrument
Landing System (ILS) operations clearance] to be able to receive direct international
flights and expand the airport capacity. The new facility will remove the limitations
constraining the underlying demand and eventually allow for simultaneous operations of
domestic and international flights.
The technical and physical features of the new facility will allow for international flight
operations and accommodate all short and medium-haul aircrafts (such as A320 family
and B737 family), which today constitutes the majority of operational fleets in Asian
markets. The runway can likewise be extended seaward in the future to handle wide-body
aircraft operations.
Central Visayas Region VII and the Province of Bohol
The Province of Bohol is located in the Central Visayas Region (Region VII). It has a total
land area of 4,820 sq.km. and a population of 1,255,130 (2010). The capital and largest
city, Tagbilaran, has a population of 96,800 (2010) and currently hosts the Domestic
Airport and Harbor, offering ferry connections to major cities in Visayas and Mindanao.
Tagbilaran Airport can only handle domestic traffic due to its operational specifications.
Within the Central Philippines, Region VII represents between 45%-48% of domestic
traffic. The main international airport of Mactan-Cebu and the airport of Dumaguete are
also located in Region VII. The domestic traffic at Tagbilaran has grown from 2% in 2001
to 11% of the Region in 2010 as shown in the table:

Development of Bohol as a Key Touristic Destination
Bohol is among the highest-rated touristic destination in the Philippines, offering unique
natural sites such as the Chocolate Hills, tarsiers and prime beachfronts. The new airport
on the island of Panglao will offer quick access to main resort areas and Tagbilaran.
The Philippine Development Plan (PDP) (2011-2016) provides that the Government shall
“focus its interventions on key areas that are job generating, where the country enjoys
comparative advantage, and with high growth potential.” The tourism sector is among
these key areas, recognized by the PDP as a “powerful driver for economic growth,
infrastructure modernization, local area development, and employment generation.” The
Project will aid in achieving this objective especially because Tagbilaran and Panglao cities
are included in the Strategic Destination Area (SDA). The profile of Tourism (based on the
2010 census) is as follows:

Puerto Princesa Airport Background
Puerto Princesa Airport is the main international gateway to the Province of Palawan, one
of the top touristic destinations in the Philippines, with unique natural sites and resorts
facilities. To cater for the strong passenger growth experienced since 2010, the DOTC is
currently implementing the Puerto Princesa Airport Development Project (PPADP),an
investment program of PHP 4.5 Billion for the construction of the new Puerto Princesa
Airport, to be commissioned in early 2017 with the support of the Government of Korea,.
Having exceeded its maximum passenger capacity, the current terminal facility (located
south of the runway) will be decommissioned and replaced with a new passenger terminal
and apron once available for operations.
Key Role of Puerto Princesa and Palawan in the National Tourism Strategy
The province of Palawan has figured prominently in the last twenty years as a major
tourism destination in the Philippines. In 1991, Northern Palawan was identified as one of
the five (5) major “Tourism Areas” throughout the Philippines for its unique and relatively
undeveloped island offerings (i.e. Calamian Group of Islands, El Nido, Taytay, San
Vicente, Roxas) in the 20-year Philippine Tourism Master Plan (TMP). The Northern
Palawan area offers islands, beaches, diving, ecotourism, and adventure. This position
has boosted since 2012 with the nomination of two (2) of the natural sites of Palawan in
the UNESCO World Heritage Sites list.
The 1991 TMP also recommended that existing, emerging, and potential tourism
destinations be made accessible to at least one “international gateway”. This strategy
would decentralize the concentration of tourists in the Metro Manila-Luzon area which was
the most accessible area in the Philippines at that time because it had the only
international gateway (Ninoy Aquino International Airport-NAIA in Metro Manila) in the
country in 1990.
Region IV-B and the Province of Palawan
Palawan is located in the MIMAROPA Region (Mindoro, Marinduque, Romblon and
Palawan) (also known as Region IV-B). It has a total land area of 14,650 sq.km. for a
population 771,670 (2010 census). The capital, and largest city, Puerto Princesa, also
hosts the only international airport of the province. Besides connections to Manila, Cebu
and Iloilo, and short connections to the northern domestic airport of Busuanga, it also
offers direct international connections to Malaysia and Taiwan (starting 2015).

2010 822,358 11,543,412 7.1%
* Comprises Regions IVb, VI, VII and VIII.
Since 2001, the airport of Puerto Princesa has grown from 4.1% of Central Philippines7
total domestic traffic to 7.1% in 2010. This share has further stabilized, mainly due to the
congestion that the airport is currently experiencing to be able to absorb the substantial
increase of visitors in Palawan after 2010/2011, following the classification of the Puerto
Princesa Subterranean River and Tubbataha Reef Marine Park as UNESCO World
Heritage Sites, and the Subterranean River being listed as one of the 7 Wonders of
Nature.
Development of Palawan as a Key Touristic Destination
The airport of Puerto Princesa is the key element in the promotion of the region as one of
the top tourism destinations in Asia, potentially competing with destinations such as Bali
(Indonesia) or resort islands in Thailand, and to become a strategic hub in the west of the
Philippines for connections to neighboring countries (Indonesia, Malaysia, e.g. direct
connection to Kota Kinabalu started in October 2013). The profile of Tourism is as follows:

* Figures for 2010 for Puerto Princesa City only are not available.
The increase, and diversification, of foreign visitors in Palawan is showing the potential for
expanding the international passengers (and flights) traffic base once the new airport of
Puerto Princesa is available. Most of the travelers currently transit via airports in the
Philippines8
, and the expanded new facility will offer the possibility to airlines to operate
direct flights from major hubs in Asia and beyond, increasing the prospective revenue for
the airport.

Scope and Structure of the PPP projects
Introduction
The DOTC and CAAP propose to appoint a private sector proponent under an appropriate
PPP arrangement to undertake the operations and maintenance of the six airports along
with constructing required additional facilities for a defined concession period. The key
objectives of appointing a private sector proponent are:
Increased operating efficiency of the airports;
Increased networking and marketing of the airports;
Improved net financial benefits to government; and
Improved customer amenities.
The details of the scope of project, legal framework for the project and proposed
contractual arrangements are detailed in the following sections.
Scope of the Project
The scope of the Project for the private sector proponent under the PPP arrangement
would cover:
a. Taking-over the operations and maintenance of the existing facilities from CAAP;
b. Expansion/construction of new passenger terminal(s), along with all associated
infrastructures and facilities as per applicable standards;
c. Installation of all the required equipment and associated facilities as per applicable
standards;
d. Provision of required works with respect to the existing terminal (either already in
operations or newly constructed facilities, as in the case of New Bohol (Panglao)
and Puerto Princesa airports), along with all associated infrastructures and facilities
as per applicable standards, to handle operations until the development of the new
passenger terminal(s);
e. Operations and maintenance of the passenger terminals (new and existing, as may
be decided by DOTC) during the entire concession period;
f. Enhancement/development of airside facilities to meet the enhanced scale of
operations at the airport; and
g. Operations and maintenance of all enhanced airside facilities, including, among
others, the apron, runway and taxiway.
The following would be excluded from the scope of the private sector proponent and
CAAP / DOTC would continue to be responsible for:
a. Air Traffic Control and associated services
b. Air Navigation Services and associated services

Legal Framework applicable to the Projects
Republic Act No. 6957, as amended by Republic Act No. 7718 ("BOT Law”), and its 2012
Revised Implementing Rules and Regulations (“Revised IRR”), are the primary legal
framework for Public-Private Partnerships (“PPP”) in the Philippines. The BOT Law
enunciates the policy of the state to recognize the indispensable role of the private sector
as the main engine for national growth and development. It further declares that the
government shall provide the most appropriate incentives to mobilize private resources for
the purpose of financing the construction, operation and maintenance of infrastructure and
development projects normally financed and undertaken by the Government of the
Philippines.
Proposed Specifications of Contractual Arrangements
The sections below provide a brief outline of various aspects that are being considered in
terms of the structuring of the Project. The final details shall be provided as part of the
draft contract during the bid stage after the Pre-Qualification process:
PPP Structure
An Operate-Add-Transfer arrangement is being evaluated / considered for the all the six
airport projects. Under this proposed structure, the private sector proponent shall take
over the operations and maintenance of the airport, undertake immediate expansion of
various facilities and also undertake required capacity augmentation at the airport that
may be required to cater to future demand throughout the contractual term. At the end of
the concession period, the private sector proponent would transfer the airport facilities to
DOTC and CAAP.
Concession Period
A 30 year concession is being evaluated / considered for the all the six airport projects.
Implementing Agency
The implementing agencies for all six airport projects would be DOTC and CAAP. As
highlighted earlier, CAAP would continue to provide Air Navigation and Air Traffic Control
and associated services at the six airports throughout the concession period.
Performance Specifications
DOTC/CAAP proposes to include Minimum Performance Standards and Specifications
(MPSS) in the concession agreement. The private sector proponent would be required to
operate the airport as per such defined MPSS. Further, the private sector proponent would
also be required to undertake capacity augmentation at the respective airports to ensure
compliance with the defined MPSS.
Tariffs at the Airport
When the operation and management of the respective airports will be ceded to the
private sector proponent, DOTC / CAAP will concession the levying of various charges to
the private sector proponent. DOTC / CAAP will state in the concession agreement with
the private sector proponent, the manner by which airport fees and charges will be levied
by the private sector proponent, consistent with applicable laws as well as industry

standards and practices. Broadly, DOTC / CAAP contemplate specifying a base tariff as
identified upfront and also specify tariff increments with reference to a parametric formula.
Incentives
Section 10 of the BOT Law extends to private sector proponents the Investment
Incentives under the Omnibus Investments Code upon registration with the Board of
Investments (“BOI”), depending on the level of capital requirements.
Continuation of Existing Contracts
When the private sector proponent takes over the operation of the airports, subject to final
approvals, it is currently proposed that the existing contracts will be novated by CAAP to
the private sector proponent and once the private sector proponent assumes CAAP‟s
existing contracts, it would have the option to, allow the contracts to expire, renegotiate the
contracts, or terminate the contracts on various grounds, within the boundaries of legal
requirements. The private sector proponent would also be allowed to enter into new
contracts for the provision of services should there be a need to provide additional services
to the airport clientele or should there be additional space to lease out.
