== Top 10 facts of NMIA if fully completed by 2050 ==
#It will be the busiest airport in terms of passenger movements, cargo movements, and airplanes takeoff and landing each year, because passengers and cargo lay over there for going to East Asia, North America, South America, and Oceania from Middle East, South Asia, some places in Southeast Asia, Africa, Europe, Central Asia and Russia, it has a capacity of 5B passengers, 300M cargo tons and 10M aircraft movement if fully completed by 2050, and also another factor is because of strategic location of the Philippines
#It's control tower is inspired by Sampaguita flower, our national flower and Berlin TV Tower in Germany
#It has external connections such as linking to Skyway via Tullahan River, linking to NLEX Bocaue via NLEX-NMIA Spur road, Manila Bay Expressway via NMIA Interchange, PNR-NSCR or Manila S-Bahn or Manila RRTS via spur linking to NMIA, PNR-HSR via also spur shared by NSCR and also Coastal Railway from Clark to Tutuban, MRT LIne 7 via NMIA station and more external connections such as C6 Expressway, NLEX East, and CLLEX
#Inside of terminal, you will never get bored while waiting the airplane because there will be lots of fun activities inside NMIA such as Kid Playzone if you have children, it experience zone, swimming pool on rooftop, rooftop gardens, waterfall located at its entertainment and retail complex centerpiece, a movie theater to watch movies, Filipino cultural experience zone, interior gardens, a foodcourt featuring foods around the world, a restaurant zone featuring also foods around the world, Duty Free Shopping at Duty Free Mall located inside of its entertainment and retail complex and also inside terminals, NMIA Experience Studio featuring history of Philippine aviation located at inside of terminal or its entertainment and retail complex and more NMIA fun activities to do
#It will be the best airport in the world!!! - Because of being a clean airport, lots of fun things to do, lounge like seats without having to be rich, frequent flyer and riding in business and first class
#It is also technologically advanced airport - Because this airport will use faster and efficient taxiways, faster and efficient runways, robot check in, robot services, biometric security and immigration, AI powered, faster and efficient baggage carousel at arrivals floor, solar and wind powered airport, high tech and efficient jetways, supersonic planes, robot maintenance crews, AI powered control tower, AI powered CCTV to see if there is crime occuring in airport, and more technologically advanced things will be used in NMIA
#It is built using cutting edge construction technology such as 3D printing and prefab - The terminals of NMIA will be built using prefab parts made from factory either 3d printed or manufactured, while control tower of NMIA will be built using stacking prefab parts used in Gardens By The Bay Supertree construction, while construction of runways will be record breaking just like what happened to construction of highways in India which is now record breaking, while construction of road and rail links will be also record breaking, mostly thanks to new construction technology used in construction of NMIA
#It is located in Taliptip, Bulacan - Because SMC chosen this location of new airport of Manila in Taliptip, Bulacan because it has less cost of reclamation, more feasibility and more progress unlike Sangley Point, Cavite location of airport It will be built thru more efficient and high techn reclamation such as floating reclamation used in Maldives for building floating houses and resorts and polder used in the Netherlands for building farms
#It has many thousands of nonstop destinations and connects almost all countries in the world - The NMIA will be the only major airport in the world to connect to all countries, as well as thousands of destinations across the world such as Paris, Singapore, Hong Koong, Sydney, Tokyo, London, New York, Los Angeles, Sao Paulo and more, which have connections thru nonstop flights
#It is a hotspot for planespotters also - Because in fully completed NMIA airplane takeoffs or lands every 5-20 seconds during rush travel hours and 30-60 seconds during quiet hours, the most airlines you will see in NMIA planespotting videos is the Philippine Airlines and Cebu Pacific because 2 airlines are expanding rapidly like Turkish Airlines when the NMIA opens, soon, in fully completed NMIA, the Philippine Airlines already flies to almost all countries and thousands of destinations around the world without layover
The plane has landed...
= NMIA (2021 ver.) =
This is about my plans for the New Manila International Airport project,
To address the problem of overcapacity and ineffective airport in Manila, the SMC Corporation decided to build a new airport located at Bulacan, Bulacan
Which is the New Manila International Airport, this project is under the private-public partnership, the megaproject has a budget of 740B pesos
For those who don't know, this airport is also the largest airport in the Philippines, the airport will have 4 terminals, 6 runways, and 12 taxiways
with Terminal 1 as largest terminal in NMIA because it will have the shape like Beijing Daxing International Airport and also called the North Terminal
Terminal 2 as west terminal with 3 wings leading to airplane, terminal 3 as east terminal with 6 wings leading to airplane
and Terminal 4 as South terminal with both sides and bridgeway linking from both sides of terminal 4 the New Manila International Airport will be also connected to NLEX via a spur expressway
Linking from NLEX-Bocaue to SLEX via Skyway linking to and from NMIA via the MMS Stages 1, 2, and 3, to Philippine arena via the same NLEX Spur expressway to NMIA
and via a interchange near the NLEX terminus of NLEX spur expressway that links to the Philippine Arena and Ciudad de Victoria via Ciudad de Victoria bypass road, to SCTEX and CAVITEX via a shoreline expressway
that links R10 to SCTEX, and also it will have also link to CAVITEX via the NLEX-CAVITEX Port Expressway to Bataan via a 6 to 9 pylon bridge called
New Manila International Airport-Balanga Bridge, to NLEX East via a spur expressway to NLEX East that ends at NLEX Balagtas interchange
and passes via the Plaridel Bypass Road and to Rizal Province and alternative route linking to SLEX via the same NLEX Spur Expressway, then crossing over the cloverleaf interchange
leading into Northeast Metro Manila Expressway then to Southeast Metro Manila Expressway, aside from roads, there is also rail link and its stations located
outside of NMIA complex, with NMIA Skytrain, NMIA Subway, MRT Line 7, MRT Line 3, PNR-NSCR, PNR-HSR and more train lines as its train lines linking to and from NMIA Railway station
The energy used in New Manila International Airport will be renewable because it will have a 200 MW solar farm located within the NMIA complex, its NMIA control tower
and it will be reinvented what a control tower should be because aside from ATC operations, it will be also a tourist sites with 3 floors of observation deck and 2 floors of restaurant and cafe
Aside from control tower, it will have also a entertainment and retail complex like Jewel Changi with 10 floors aboveground and 5 floors belowground, with tallest indoor waterfall in the world
Skytrain passing thru waterfall, airport hotel, and on top floor, there will be both adult and child playground with slides, playing nets, and trampolines
Aside from this, there will be also IKEA New Manila International Airport branch beside the terminal 2 that will cater to those transiting passengers, Bulakenyos
and airport passengers shopping for IKEA furnitures that is local or imported from other countries and also high quality and affordable
and also there will be New Manila International Airport Convention Center where it will host numerous events of NMIA and also, there will be function rooms and party rooms
and aside from this, the New Manila International Airport will have a aerotropolis ooutside and inside of NMIA complex featuring seaports, residential areas featuring Singapore like condominiums,
Institution Areas, Technology Areas, Commercial Areas, Industrial Areas, Tourism Areas, and Education Areas featuring universities and tall schools, if airport and aerotropolis is completed
This would create more job opportunities, boost economy and businesses and decongest other airports in Manila area, aside from this, it would be the busiest airport in the world
Tied with Istanbul Airport in Turkey and the best airport in the world, tied with Singapore Changi Airport and Doha Hamad Airport
What will you say about this New Manila International Airport project, would you think it will be the busiest or best airport in the world?
= NMIA Year End 2022 Update =
As of December 2022, the Reclamation work on this airport is nearly 1.2k ha out of 1.8k ha are finished for the first, and second stage of reclamation
and there is a new design of airport that I don't like, which has the shape of router or drone hoping this airport design for terminals will improve again, because even if the airport terminal changed design, it is still world-class
and for the Aerotropolis, its construction is yet to start and it will be world-class city designed for all works of life, and all social classes, with pedestrian friendly design
While the expressway linking to NMIA which is SALEX has already begun construction, with piles are boring and its first columns are being erected, and it is already on track for completion along with this airport by 2027
Also, the Skyway Stage 3 extension to NMIA has halted construction, with pierheads and girders still lying there, and as NMIA starts construction, the MMSS3 extension will begin the construction stage
And NLEX connection to NMIA Spur Expressway has also yet to be started because SMC Infrastructure has not yet collaborated with NLEX, while expressway from this airport to Clark, Pampanga, and Bataan, has also yet to be started
In Today's progress, we can see non-stop reclamation work that lasts for 24 hours, and 7 days until it is finished, with Drilling Machines, and other reclamation machines that work-hard to reclaim a NMIA Island
For the MRT Line 7 connection to this airport, the construction is not yet started, because MRT Line 7 is still ongoing, but slow construction, that this construction needs to go fast now, to be completed next year, and it wil soon eventually connect to the airport, with a station to be built here, that has world-class quality
Also, The PNR-NSCR will connect to this airport (Just only a suggestion) through a branch line starting near Bocaue Station, and links it to the airport, with an underground station shared by MRT Line 7
And for the aerotropolis, its construction is yet to start and it will be world-class city designed for all works of life, and all social classes, with pedestrian friendly design
In the south of this airport, there will be another city proximity to this airport, which is the Tanza Support Services, with an MRT Line 7 station, many public housing condominiums that is world-class with similarity to Singapore flats
Also, the Support Services part of this airport will bring also jobs opportunity for operating the airport, and its aircrafts
And for the aerotropolis, its construction is yet to start, and it will be world-class city designed for all works of life, and all social classes, with pedestrian friendly design
Even though the airport terminal did not start yet, the interiors will be inspired by a local culture, with many baybayin signages (Just an suggestion), and a baybayin name of this airport for Bulacan
And for the aerotropolis, its construction is yet to start, and it will be world-class city designed for all works of life, and all social classes, with pedestrian friendly design
The airport will bring job opportunities (including over 10k-20k direct and 5k-6k indirect construction jobs), so that people of Bulacan will prosper because of this airport
And for the aerotropolis, its construction is yet to start, and it will be world-class city designed for all works of life, and all social classes, with pedestrian friendly design
The airport will be able to support more direct flights across the world, especially the routes linking from the Indian Subcontinent, and Europe, which have no direct flights linking from the Philippines
And for the aerotropolis, its construction is yet to start, and it will be world-class city designed for all works of life, and all social classes, with pedestrian friendly design
When the airport is completed, it is exprected to decongest NAIA, with a passenger capacity of at least 80M-100M, with a world-class terminal, a world class control tower, a world-class railway system, a world-class expressway, and a world-class transportation hub, and also helps the Philippines to achieve a more prosperous economy, and a first-world country
Thank you, Merry christmas, and a Happy new year, and this video should be helpful, because this will accelerate the NMIA Airport construction, if the goal of getting viral is fulfilled.
