The three-day expo was Asia’s pioneering design, construction and operations event that showcases the next wave of innovation in passenger and cargo terminal, while bringing together experts and decision-makers to shape next-gen airports.

The event’s opening ceremony was attended by Michael Wong Wai-lun, acting Financial Secretary of the Hong Kong; Vivian Cheung, chief executive of the HK Airport Authority, and other government officials and influential members from industry associations.

During a panel discussion, Yambao emphasized three important pillars in enhancing Subic Bay Freeport’s capacity and operational efficiency: automation, investment in infrastructure and equipment acquisition, and expansion..

“Subic Bay Freeport is the only Freeport in the Philippines that has a complete logistics infrastructure in one location, that is managed by the SBMA. It has an airport, and a seaport with a modern container terminal, and piers that can accommodate different types of cargo, to be connected to the Luzon Economic Corridor by a railway in the near future,” Yambao said.
