Puerto Princesa International Airport


Project Background:
The improvement of Puerto Princesa International Airport is a Public-Private Partnership project of the government. The city government of Puerto Princesa and the Department of Transportation and Communications will be teaming up with the private company that will win the bidding for the project. There were different projects that included Puerto Princesa Airport in the past, as one of their subjects but failed to accomplish their goals. These projects were: The Third Airport Development Program; International Transport Development Program and; the Japan International Cooperation Agency sponsored development projects. The focus on Mindanao and Palawan reflects the governments commitment to pursue a peace and development agenda for Mindanao, and to revitalize the transport and trade linkages under the Brunei Darussalam, Indonesia, Malaysia, and the PhilippinesEast ASEAN Growth Area (BIMP-EAGA).

Project Location: Barangay San Jose, Puerto
Princesa City, Palawan

Project Description: The project involves the


rehabilitation/improvement of the existing Puerto Princesa Airport to meet the standards of the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) through the construction of a new passenger terminal building in the north western side of the existing runway.

Palawan is an island province of the Philippines located in the MIMAROPA region. Its capital is Puerto Princesa City, and it is the largest province in the country in terms of total area of jurisdiction. The islands of Palawan stretch from Mindoro in the northeast to Borneo in the southwest. It lies between the South China Sea and the Sulu Sea. The province is named after its largest island, Palawan Island, measuring 450 kilometers long and 50 kilometers wide. Palawan is a narrow archipelago of 1,700 islands on the western border of the Philippines. Its geographical location makes it seem remote from the rest of the country, and in fact, some of its southern islands are closer to Malaysia than to other provinces.

Lot Description: The lot of the proposed airport terminal building is located at the uppermost-left side of the airport site, across the runway from the existing domestic airport. There are structures (previously used by the AirForce) and informal settlers in the area but they were already relocated by the Department of Transportation and Communications as part of their agreement with the 570 Philippine AirForce. Half of the site is full of different trees and vegetation. It has irregular parts on the western side but regular sides on the other three sides. The total land area of the lot is 160,300 sq.m (including the road network).

Type I: Two pronounced seasons. Dry from November to April, wet during rest of the year. Type III: Season are not very pronounced; relatively dry from November to April, wet during rest of the year.

Macro Climate: The province experiences two types of climate a distinct dry (during November to April) and wet season each for six months, prevailing at the extreme north and south ends and northwest coast of the province. The eastern part has a short dry season with no distinct rainy season. In North Palawan, the average annual extreme temperature range from 22.6C 39.1C. Annual average rainfall ranges from 2.327mm to 2.577mm. Average relative humidity ranges from 81% to 83%. In Puerto Princesa City, the average annual extreme temperature range from 23.4C 31.3C with an average mean temperature of 27.4C. -source: Puerto Princesa City Government

Micro Climate: The site is rich with trees and vegetation which makes most parts of the area shaded from the heat of the sun. Because there are few paved areas, heat is absorbed by the ground and air is warmer at night. Because of the general wide open spaces of an airport site and because of its adjacency to the sea, wind is cooler in the site and is freer to flow around the buildings. Also because of the general wide open spaces and absence of tall structures in the periphery, use of solar energy collecting devices is a good option.

Site Analysis: located at the middle-east side of Puerto Princesa City and easily accessible from all parts of the city. the immediate surrounding area of the airport would be for commercial use, then for residential and tourist accommodations. There are structures (previously used by the AirForce) and informal settlers in the area but they were already relocated by the Department of Transportation and Communications as part of their agreement with the 570 Philippine AirForce. Half of the site is full of different trees and vegetation. An access road would be constructed to connect the airport terminal facilities to the highway.

Macro-Wind Analysis for Puerto Princesa The City has two distinct prevailing winds, the northeast monsoon and the southwest monsoon. The northeast monsoon generally sets in October and continues until April. The monsoon blows mainly between north and northeast with a tendency towards an easterly direction at the end of the season. It has a velocity ranging from 15 to 25 kilometers per hour at its height and an average of 6 kilometers per hour. Rain clouds during the NE monsoon practically lose all the moisture before reaching the southwest part of the archipelago, thus the City and the province as a whole receive no rainfall towards the end of the northeast monsoon (January-April). The southwest monsoon or the summer monsoon follows the NE monsoon after a transition period of variable winds and calms. The SW monsoon prevails from June to October. It blows most steadily during July and August although not as steady as the NE monsoon, reaching a maximum velocity of about 35 kilometers per hour. In October or during the close of the SW monsoon, strong winds occur in the southern part of the city. The southwest winds bring torrential rains but with uneven distribution. The NE and SW monsoons affect the eastern and western part of the City. When these winds blow, the seas are very rough. The calm months of the year are from April through June on both the eastern and western side of the City. Page 22
