THE Pampanga Chamber of Commerce and Industry Inc. (PamCham) has lauded the government for successfully bidding out the operations and maintenance contract (O&M) of the Clark International Airport in record time, and carried out in a very transparent manner with its transaction adviser, the International Finance Corp. of the World Bank (IFC-WB), that aired all the activities live on its social-media pages.Â
The careful and rigorous selection process undertaken by the Bases Conversion and Development Authority (BCDA), in partnership with the Department of Transportation (DOTr), that led to the awarding of the contract to the consortium led by the Changi Airport Group, operator of the No. 1 airport in the world, also composed of the Filinvest Development Corp., JG Summit Holdings Inc. and Philippine Airport Ground Support Solutions Inc., assures the chamber that the best airport service and VIP passenger experience awaits local and foreign travelers in Clark.
This North Luzon Airport Consortium brings together Changi’s expertise and experience, and Filinvest and JG Summit’s strengths in the local development market.
“We commend the Duterte administration for heeding the appeal of the business community in Pampanga and Central Luzon, for the full development of the Clark International Airport as Asia’s next premier gateway. Once a dream, now it finally became a reality through its massive infrastructure program—“Build Build Build.”
