Department of Transportation Sec. Jaime Bautista announced that 8 groups have expressed interest in the rehabilitation project at the Ninoy Aquino International Airport.
According to Bautista, prospective bidders have all submitted their bid documents.
The official also said that despite almost more than a month before its deadline, he does not expect more groups to join the bidding for the rehabilitation of the Ninoy Aquino International Airport.
This is because the new groups that want to join the bidding for the rehabilitation, operation, and expansion of the NAIA may lack time.
The eight prospective bidders who bought bid documents are: GMR Airports International B.V., San Miguel Holdings Corp., Manila International Airport Consortium, Spark 888 Management, Inc, Asian Airport Consortium, Cengiz Insaat Sanayi ve Ticaret A.S., Incheon International Airport Corporation, and Limak Insaat Sanayi ve Ticaret A.S.
Winning bidder of this Php170 billion project is scheduled to be announced early next year and will be given 15 years to rehabilitate the said airport passenger terminals and airside facilities.
