Philippines,Singapore,United States : Contracts Signed for Clark International Airport Expansion and Modernization, Pioneering Hybrid PPP

Publish Date : 11-Feb-2019

IFC, a member of the World Bank Group, announced finalized agreements for the long-term operations and maintenance (O&M) concession for the Clark International Airport between the Bases Conversion and Development Authority (BCDA) and the North Luzon Airport Consortium, comprising Changi Airport of Singapore, Filinvest Corporation, JG Summit and Philippine Airport Ground Support Solutions.

The 25-year concession, involving the equipping and full management of the entire Clark airport facility, follows the engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) public-private partnership (PPP) concluded in 2017. This is the first airport project in the Philippines to be tendered under the Philippine governments recent hybrid PPP policy.

The Clark International Airport is the second main gateway into the country. Under the project, a new 100,000-square meter passenger terminal will be built, positioning the airport as a world-class facility and boosting air transport capacity for the Greater Capital Region. It will serve an estimated eight million passengers annuallyfour times its current capacity of two millionand is expected to reduce the strain on the congested Ninoy Aquino International Airport. The project will also help create jobs and increase development in Central Luzon, a growing economic center.

IFC was the lead transaction advisor to BCDA in helping structure and tender both the EPC and O&M contracts. IFC also prepared the project and conducted competitive tenders with support from the World Banks Global Infrastructure Facility (GIF).

Vivek Pathak, IFC Director for East Asia and Pacific, said, This project demonstrates IFCs willingness to test and try out new PPP models in support of the governments goal to deliver crucial infrastructure that is key to sustaining the countrys growth momentum. He added, The handover of the airport to a globally-recognized operator will also help ensure quality service delivery and boost traffic connectivity to the northern provinces of the countryas well as to the region and the rest of the world.

Vince Dizon, Bases Conversion and Development Authority President, said, As the first hybrid PPP airport awarded through a transparent and competitive tender, we are confident that Clark Airport will soon be able to welcome more passengers with higher-quality service. IFCs advice has been instrumental in structuring these transactions, which have become a model for hybrid PPPs in the Philippines.

Jordan Schwartz, World Bank Director for Infrastructure Finance, PPPs & Guarantees and Co-Chair of the GIFs Governing Council, said, The GIF is pleased to have supported the BCDA and IFC structure. Its truly an innovative solution that brings in strong, private-sector experience in operating airports.

Over the past 30 years, IFCs PPP Transaction Advisory team has supported governments in over 100 countries. During this period, eight PPP projects have been successfully implemented with the support of IFC as transaction advisor to the Philippine government.
