They've been on about it for many years now. I thought it was done. Be nice to know!
Expect the budget has been stolen by now
Well, when - and if - it goes ahead, expect them cheap land deals to vanish, so looking at the long term I can see buying land there as a good long term investment. On another note - and Fred will back me up on this - the locals don,t like change - they don,t want their island invaded by tourists from what I understand
I was told that the first contract which deals with perimeter fencing and land clearing has commenced.. No idea if its true as I haven't been up that way in ages..
The latest I have read on civil works is that it is supposed to start in August.
I suppose we will just have to wait and see!

Actually,I don't hear anyone complaining..Well, when - and if - it goes ahead expect them cheap land deals to vanish, so looking at the long term, I can see buying land there as a good long term investment.

All I know is, it's almost impossible to get a decent local bricklayer, carpenter or electrician these days..
There is soooo much construction going on here and they are all working and earning.
Thanks Tiger but brought our guys in from Manila..They have been here nearly a year and a half now!!Glad we dont have to rely on the locals!
This video is a couple of months old but it will give you an idea..
Some later pics I have found..
Thanks Fred for the pictures, what a scar on the landscape it looks, but maybe it will bring in lots of cash and work for the locals,
What are your views on being a local yourself about this

Its not really a good question to ask me Steve if you want a fair and impartial answer....I`m in the tourism business...More tourists,more business!
That said,the airport it will be replacing is far too small and the runway far too short..When Im on top of the BQ mall building I feel like ducking when these planes go over on their final approach.
Well you answered the best you could, it was a little crowded in the airport most times when waiting to leave the place ,
Will Alona Beach be like this?
Palawan will be having a new airport soon to serve El Nido, even though it's located further south in San Vicente. Estimated completion is 2017 so it'll be open in 2025.
At the moment the planes often go right over where we live before landing in Tag B.. Surprisingly though I hardly notice them.
Last time we flew there I was waving at you Fred from the plane, but I did notice when we left you did wave then
