Iya kucela ingcinga elungileyo yokucinga. Ukuqhuba kwisikhululo seenqwelomoya iClark, i-70 km kumantla eManila kubonakala ngathi kubuyela kwakudala. Ukushiya ngasemva iMetro Manila kunye neendlela zayo ezixineneyo, iimoto zingena kuhola wendlela omtsha odibanisa ikomkhulu lakwiiPhilippines ukuya kwiClark-Subic Area ejikelezwe ngamasimi eeddy kunye neefama ezincinci. Kuxhomekeke ekuphumeni kusiwe kwisikhululo seenqwelomoya iClark, imoto inokuphelela kwindlela yasemaphandleni. Isikhululo senqwelomoya saseClark ngaphambili yayisisiseko somkhosi waseMelika. Kwaye ukungena kwisikhululo esincinci sabakhweli, kunzima ukukholelwa ukuba ngenye imini kunokuthatha abanye abagibeli abangama-80 ezigidi baya kudlula kwisikhululo seenqwelomoya.
Kodwa okwangoku, iClark Diosdado Macapagal International Airport (i-DMIA) ifumana abagibeli abangama-600,000 kuphela kwaye ithathwa njengeOfisi yezoThutho loMoya ePhilippines njengeyona ndlela iphambili yokungena kwiinqwelomoya. “Iimbono zide zalunga kakhulu ngo-2009 ngokukhula kwamanani aphindwe kabini kwizithuthi zabakhweli phakathi kukaJanuwari noSeptemba. Singabetha abagibeli abasisigidi phakathi kuka-2011 no-2012 ”, utshilo uVictor Jose Luciano, uMongameli kunye ne-CEO yeClark International Airport Corporation.
Ukutyhala okukhulu kwenzeka ngo-2008 xa uMongameli wase-Filipino u-Gloria Macapagal Arroyo etyikitye isigqibo sokuguqula isikhululo seenqwelomoya sibe yi-Nkulumbuso ye-Airway yase Manila. Umgangatho wesikhululo seenqwelomoya uphantse wawuphinda kathathu umkhulu kunesi sikhululo samanje saseManila Ninoy Aquino - i-2,387 ha xa iyonke isetyenziswa ngoku ziihektare ezingama-800. Umkhosi womoya wase-US ushiye iziko lixhotyiswe ngeendlela ezimbini ezibalekayo ezingama-3,200 m zombini ezinokukwazi ukulungiselela iinqwelomoya ezinkulu ezifana neAirbus.
Ukuza kuthi ga ngoku, i-DMIA idityaniswe zizithuthi ezintandathu eziphantsi (eCebu Pacific, AirAsia, Tiger Airways, Spirit of Manila, SEAir kunye neZest Air) kunye nelifa elithwele uAsiana waseKorea. UJin Air sele ebhengeze ukuba kungekudala uza kuqala iinqwelomoya ukusuka eSeoul ukuya eClark. NgokukaLuciano, umntu ophethe iGulf naye kungekudala angabakho kwisikhululo seenqwelomoya, anyamekele isigidi sabantu bakwiiPhilippines abahlala kuMbindi Mpuma. “Siqinisekile ukuba siyakwamkela isiseko esitsha seAirAsia kuMazantsi mpuma Asia. Besisele sineengxoxo ezinzulu kunye nabaphathi bayo ”, wongeza uLuciano. Umntwana omtsha kwibhloko nguMoya waseManila oqale ngo-Novemba ukuya eMacau, Taipei naseBahrain.
Umcimbi omkhulu ngoku kukuphuhliswa kwesiphelo esitsha. Ulwakhiwo ukuza kuthi ga ngoku lubambezelekile kodwa kubonakala ngathi umsebenzi uza kuqala kwinxalenye yesiphelo kulo nyaka. Igalari entsha kunye nomgangatho wesibini ziyongezwa kwisiphelo sendlela esiza kuphakamisa amandla ukusuka kwizigidi ezibini ukuya kwezihlanu abakhweli. Amabhongo kaClark kungekudala aza kuthatha ubume bekhonkrithi ngakumbi. Sele zivunyiwe izicwangciso zokuyila itheminali yesibini eya kuthi ibe sisiseko selizwe elizayo. Isicwangciso esiliqili saphuhliswa yiKorea Arhente yeNtsebenziswano yamazwe aphesheya (KOICA) ngo-Novemba ka-2008 ekhangela itheminali yesibini enesithuba sokuqala sabakhweli abazizigidi ezisixhenxe. Ezinye iziseko zophuhliso zibandakanya indawo yokuthenga, iindlela ezintsha zeteksi, ukwandiswa kwefaskoti kunye nomgaqo omnye weenqwelo moya, isikhululo seenqwelomoya kunye nenqaba entsha yolawulo. Utyalo-mali lulonke kwesi sigaba luqikelelwa kwi-US $ 150 yezigidi zeedola ukugqitywa kulindeleke ngo-2013. “Ngelo xesha, iTheminali yesi-2 iya kube isinikezelwe kugcino lwamazwe ngamazwe ngeTheminali 1 ethatha zonke iindlela zasekhaya”, utsho uLuciano. Kwixesha elide, i-DMIA iya kuba nakho ukuphatha abakhweli abazizigidi ezingama-80.
Kutshanje amaphephandaba alapha axele umdla wenkampani esekwe e-Kuwait, iAlmal Investment Inkampani, yokuphuhlisa i-DMIA kutyalo-mali olupheleleyo lwe-US $ 1.2 yezigidigidi. Kwisindululo sangomhla wama-24 kuDisemba ka-2009, inkampani ivakalise umnqweno wayo wokuphuhlisa onke amacandelo oluntu e-DMIA Terminal 1, 2, no-3 ngokusekwe kwisicwangciso esiyintloko. Inkampani yeAlmal Investment izakuchitha kwangoko i-US $ 100 yezigidi kwisigaba sokuqala seTheminali 2.
Omnye umba ongxamisekileyo uya kuba likhonkco eManila. Ukuza kuthi ga ngoku, kuthatha ngaphezulu kweeyure ezimbini ngemoto ukufikelela kwisikhululo seenqwelomoya kwaye kufuneka kwenziwe umsebenzi ongxamisekileyo ukwandisa uhola wendlela kunye nokuhambisa izithuthi zikawonkewonke ezifanelekileyo. “Siyakuqonda ukugcwala kwendlela eManila kodwa kufuneka ibengcono xa kuvulwa u-2010 wendlela entsha eyiringi kwisiXeko saseQuezon. Ukugqitywa kweNkqubo yoLoliwe yabaThuthi kuza kubonelela ngonxibelelwano ngqo lukaloliwe ukusuka eClark ukuya kwisikhululo saseManila esiseMantla, ”wongeza uLuciano.
Ukuphuhliswa kwe-DMIA njengeNkulumbuso yelizwe akusayi kuthetha ukuvalwa kwesikhululo senqwelomoya saseManila. I-NAIA iyakwehliselwa kwisikhululo seenqwelomoya sasekhaya ngazo zonke iinqwelomoya ezigxininiswe kwiTheminali yesi-2 nakwiTheminali yesi-3 kwaye ekuqaleni konyaka wama-2010, ezinye zezinto ezinokwenzeka zinokwenzeka e-NAIA. Kubonakala ngathi isikhululo seenqwelomoya saseManila, iTheminali yesi-3, ekugqibeleni iza kuba likhaya elitsha lezithuthi ezine zamazwe aphesheya-ikakhulu i-Korea Air, i-Japan Airlines, i-Thai Airways kunye ne-Singapore Airlines. Ukuza kuthi ga ngoku, kuphela yiCebu Pacific kunye nePAL Express esebenza kwiTheminali eyakhiwe ukulungiselela abakhweli abazizigidi ezili-13. Kwixesha elide, iTheminali 3 iyakuthatha bonke abathwali bamanye amazwe ngeTheminali 1 ivala iingcango zayo eluntwini. Kude kube ngoku, abaphathi bamanye amazwe bebekhetha ukuhlala kwiTheminali 1 yakudala ngenxa yemicimbi yezomthetho yeTheminali 3 phakathi kukarhulumente kunye nequmrhu elakha eli ziko.
