And according to Arianespace -67775 just left MNL as well. Just maintenance checks? Or a new interior?

On Alphaland's side, I haven't seen 8666 (their first ATR) flying for a while, she's always parked - makes me think she's mothballed. But checking with planespotters.net, apparently Royal Star Aviation now owns the aircraft. Hmmmm.

The side looks a bit underwhelming, they could at least have used the 777's more prominent typeface for "Philippines".

VolvoBus wrote:Also,I find trumpeting the C5 connector road as access rather disingenuous, as it does not serve a terminal, merely connect SLEX and Cavitex.

We’re talking about almost 20 million passengers here.
As of now T2 already handles around 10-11 million, which is already tight. How are they going to squeeze in an additional 7-8 million passengers...?
