DoTr notes down completion of 120 Airport Projects since July 2016

The Department of Transportation (DoTr) reported on the 120 Airport Projects that were completed under the Administration of President Rodrigo Duterte from June 2016 to February 2020. Among these Projects are:

* Bohol-Panglao International Airport – Started by the PNoy Administration but never finished. The Feasibility Study of this Project started in 2000 but it took another 5 years before construction began. By June 2016 when the Project was transitioned to the Duterte Administration, its schedule had already slipped by 48%. It was finally inaugurated in November 2018.

* Mactan-Cebu International Airport – Started also by the PNoy Administration, but upon transfer to the Duterte Administration its schedule had already been delayed by 11 months. It was inaugurated in 2017 and is now fully operational.

* Sangley Airport – Construction started in 2019 and inaugurated just this month (February 2020).

* Communications, Navigation, Surveillance/Air Traffic Management (CNS/ATM) Project - Implementation of this project was delayed by 10 years, now it is fully operational with a total of 13 radars (compared to just 3 before) ensuring 100% coverage of Philippine airspace for aviation safety.

* Bicol International Airport – Delayed for 11 years but is now more than 50% complete
