Aboitiz InfraCapital Inc. submitted to the Department of Transportation an unsolicited proposal for the development and improvement of the Iloilo International Airport, a top executive said Tuesday.
“We are actively exploring further opportunity growing our airport platform, and in fact we have just submitted an unsolicited proposal to develop and improve the Iloilo International Airport as a response to [Iloilo] Mayor Treñas,” AIC president and chief executive Cosette Canilao said in a virtual briefing.
Treñas earlier sent a letter of request to the National Economic and Development Authority and to InfraCapital to consider the upgrade of the airport under the public private partnership scheme.
“We believe that we have the right ingredients in AIC in terms of experience and expertise via our technical partner Dublin Airport Authority and on the ground knowledge to deliver the best solution for Iloilo,” Canilao said.
“We are excited for our proposal to be considered and we look forward to working with the government for that,” she said.
Canilao said the company also submitted updated unsolicited proposals for Bohol International Airport, Laguindingan Airport and Bicol International Airport for NEDA evaluation and approval.
