Subic launches bid to host Asian airline conference
(Manila Standard Via Thomson Dialog NewsEdge) SUBIC BAY FREEPORT--This freeport wants to host the biggest gathering of international airline companies belonging to the 29-member Airline Operators Council in South East Asia in an effort to showcase the trade and tourism facilities here.
This was agreed during the two-day meeting of members and officials of the AOC-Manila held at the Subic Bay International Airport, a facility being touted as the next regional hub in the Asia-Pacific rim.
Leoncio Dakila Nakpil II, AOC chairman, said organizers are expecting more than 300 participants to attend the summit, which will focus on the ratification of the AOC draft constitution and bylaws.
"Each member-country has its own local AOC and affiliates attending the summit of Asean-AOC serving as the umbrella organization in compliance with the United Nations resolution to ensure industry cooperation and security in the region," Nakpil said.
Nakpil said Panay and Cebu International Airports have both expressed interest in hosting the event.
Nakpil added that AOC-Manila has cited SBIA and the Diosdado Macapagal International Airport in Clark Special Economic Zone as primary alternate airports of the Ninoy Aquino International Airport in case of diversion of both local and international flights.
AOC-Manila agreed to actively participate and be involved in the promotional campaign of SBIA to lure more airline carriers and even cargo air-couriers in its bid to increase air-traffic volume and passenger arrivals here.
"Subic Freeport has a lot to offer but the sad part of it only few knew that the area has already been developed to become a destination for both local and foreign travelers," said Nakpil.
Dave Paculan, airport service manager of Emirates Airline, the international carrier of the United Arab Emirates, said migrant workers, particularly those from Central and Northern Luzon, could use the world-class passenger terminal of SBIA to and from their destinations.
