Air Asia's Philippine unit sees maiden flight in 2011

Manila (Philippine Daily Inquirer/ANN) - The Philippine unit of regional aviation giant Air Asia will be flying out of Clark Freeport in Pampanga province by the third quarter of next year as the company aims to dominate the highly competitive air travel industry in the Philippines.
Businessman Antonio 'Tonyboy' Cojuangco, Michael Romero and Maan Hontiveros will each own 20 per cent of the new airline - Air Asia Philippines. The group will partner with Malaysia's long-haul budget airline Air Asia X, which will own 40 per cent.
Cojuangco and Romero were named chairman and vice chairman, respectively, while Hontiveros was appointed the firm's president and CEO.
"There's a massive market here," Air Asia X founder and CEO Tony Fernandes said in a briefing, adding that the airline's maiden flight would take place in September 2011.
The company plans to launch regional flights at first, while it studies the viability of domestic flights in the country, Fernandes said.
The company is considering flights to and from the west coast of the United States. At present, flag carrier Philippine Airlines (PAL) is the only one that operates flights between the United States and the Philippines, he added.
Air Asia Philippines, which will have an initial capital of US$25 million, will be the Malaysian group's third affiliate outside of its home country. The airline group already has units operating in Indonesia and Thailand.
"There is no overcapacity in the Philippines. I believe that the pie is big enough for all airlines," Fernandes said, reacting to a recent statement by PAL that the entry of Air Asia could lead to price wars among the airlines operating in the country.
The pressure on prices and profit margins, PAL president Jaime Bautista said, could result in a slowdown in investments and deterioration of services to the public.

Cable car system to link La Union, Baguio pushed

BAGUIO CITY – A top official of the Department of Transportation and Communications here said the best way to attract more foreign and domestic tourists to Baguio would be a cable car system from the lowland province of La Union to this mountain resort city.
The proposed cable car system will help shorten the one-and-a-half hour travel time from Baguio to La Union and vice versa to only 30 minutes, and would provide tourists a breathtaking view of the surrounding countryside.
DOTC Undersecretary Giling Mamondiyong said there is no longer room for the expansion of Baguio’s Loakan Airport although it will still remain open for smaller planes. He said the development of the Poro Point International Airport in nearby San Fernando City, La Union will also help strengthen the local tourism industry.
Mamondiyong told local officials that he will request President Arroyo to allocate funds for a feasibility study for a cable car system, which he said will also address the perennial problem of major road closures between Baguio and the lowlands during typhoons and landslides.
The DOTC official admitted that the development of the Poro Point International Airport slowed down a bit because of marketing problems that could result to bigger problems in the future. He said appropriate remedies are being implemented to make the airport operational within the year.
The airport was supposed to begin full operations last October to cater to the increasing number of tourist arrivals in La Union, from where tourists usually motor up to Baguio.
Mamondiyong said the national government is not abandoning plans to rehabilitate and upgrade the Poro Point airport because it will serve as an air transport hub in Northern Luzon.
The official said establishing a cable car system between La Union and Baguio could be one of the best legacies of the Arroyo administration to the people of Northern Luzon who rely on tourism as a major source of income.
