Subject of the Disclosure

Consortium formed for rehabilitation, operation, and maintenance of NAIA

Background/Description of the Disclosure

Please be informed that AC Infrastructure Holdings Corporation, a wholly owned subsidiary of Ayala Corporation, has agreed to form a consortium with Aboitiz InfraCapital Inc., Alliance Global Group Inc., AEDC, Filinvest Development Corporation, JG Summit Holdings Inc., and Metro Pacific Investments Corporation for the rehabilitation, operation, and maintenance of the Ninoy Aquino International Airport (NAIA) through an unsolicited proposal which it plans to submit to the Department of Transportation. The terms of the Memorandum of Understanding or framework of the consortium are still under negotiation.

The consortium will work with foreign technical partners with world class track records in airport operations to improve, upgrade, and enhance the operational efficiencies of NAIA.

The consortium believes that NAIA will continue to be a strategic gateway and a key hub of airline operations for the Philippines. With proper upgrades and strategic improvements, NAIA can easily accommodate an additional 11 million passengers annually from the current 39.5 million passengers, and can increase its hourly aircraft movements from 40 movements per hour to 48 movements per hour.

The unsolicited proposal is intended to help accelerate the government’s “Build Build Build” program. Augmenting NAIA’s capacity is the quickest way to address airport congestion while other airports are being developed outside Metro Manila. The consortium believes that this approach promotes greater economic benefit and sustainability for the whole country.
