This is good news for International Operators.<\/p>\n<p>Background: The airport is heavily congested, it&#8217;s a big deal in the Philippines, and the President himself\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/news.abs-cbn.com\/business\/06\/30\/16\/duterte-moves-to-decongest-manila-airport\" target=\"_blank\">started the action<\/a>\u00a0to fix things.<\/p>\n<p>The original plan \u00a0was that February 2017 would see all GA traffic moved to other airports (aka RPLC\/Clark or RPLB\/Subic Bay). For international operators, neither of these are great alternatives. Clark can be a 3 hour drive to Manila, and Subic Bay is further again, with about a 4 hour drive.<\/p>\n<p>However, the original threat of moving everything that isn&#8217;t line traffic out of RPLL might have dissipated. The NAIA Airport Company has now introduced some hefty slot restrictions for GA:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>2 GA movements from<strong> 0600-1200\u00a0<\/strong>local time<\/li>\n<li>No GA movements between <strong>1200-1900<\/strong><\/li>\n<li>Slots will be assigned only 24 hours in advance for domestic flights<\/li>\n<li>Slots will be assigned maximum <strong>15 days in advance for international flights<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The word on the ground (as of January 25th) from the local handling agents, is that the Airport Authority is evaluating whether this might be a sufficient restriction for GA. It seems that they don&#8217;t want to exclude GA\u00a0or non-scheduled flights entirely. We&#8217;ll keep you posted.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-1302\" src=\"https:\/\/ops.group\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/NAIA.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"2050\" height=\"1374\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ops.group\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/NAIA.png 2050w, https:\/\/ops.group\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/NAIA-300x201.png 300w, https:\/\/ops.group\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/NAIA-768x515.png 768w, https:\/\/ops.group\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/NAIA-1024x686.png 1024w, https:\/\/ops.group\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/NAIA-676x453.png 676w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2050px) 100vw, 2050px\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>RPLL\/Manila is not moving as quickly towards a complete ban of non-scheduled and General Aviation&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":1295,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[69],"tags":[767,768,769,35,766,553,552,763],"class_list":{"0":"post-1294","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-special-report","8":"tag-clark","9":"tag-congestion","10":"tag-ga-ban","11":"tag-manila","12":"tag-rplb","13":"tag-rplc","14":"tag-rpll","15":"tag-subic-bay"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/ops.group\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1294","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/ops.group\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/ops.group\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ops.group\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ops.group\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1294"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/ops.group\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1294\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1303,"href":"https:\/\/ops.group\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1294\/revisions\/1303"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ops.group\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1295"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/ops.group\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1294"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ops.group\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1294"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ops.group\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1294"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
