Southeast Asia - Philippines

New MOU Signed with Subic Bay International Airport
At a press conference held on 16th April at ABACE2018 , AsBAA announced a new MOU signing with Subic Bay International Airport to develop its infrastructure with a view to advancing BA / GA in the Philippines .
The Philippine Chapter launched in September 2017 and is the newest addition to ASBAA ’ s regional committees
Benjamin “ Jay ” Lopez , Chair of AsBAA Philippine Chapter
AsBAA will support and advise on the initial design and on-going operation of the Subic Bay International Airport . This is envisioned to bring about an immediate and reliable facility that regional BA / GA operators can access as another option to operate from in the Philippines . The Country ’ s focus on infrastructure development , particularly aviation-related infrastructure , to help decongest Manila is welcomed . Plans have long been discussed and now is the time for action . We are delighted to assist the authorities in advising on these vital enhancements to Philippine aviation infrastructure .
In addition to the activity at SBIA , the Chapter has been actively promoting safety best practice in the country with an AsBAA Aviation Safety Day and Pilot ’ s Day being planned to take place in August 2018 . In addition , AsBAA ’ s student and careers chapter will soon be rolled out to the region . An official mascot for young and aspiring aviators has been identified in the person of an 8-year-old boy named , “ Mio ” . He will help to inspire more young Filipinos into exploring eventual careers in aviation . Check our Mio ’ s mascot page on the Discovery pages of AsBAA in Action .
