This article says CRK is planned to become the airport for Manila after NAIA (MNL) ceases to be useful; how far is it from Manila?

If I'm correct, it should be about 85 kilometers from Manila (since the new exit to the airport is under construction), and about an hour's drive on the North Luzon Expressway. --Akira123323 03:10, 4 April 2006 (UTC)
It isn't saying it will become the airport for MANILA, It will come the new GATEWAY to the Philippines, The new Major International airport, And yes, it will be a fair drive from MNL. you can fly MNL-CRK :) - posted: tomauer. April 10th 2007


    • Philippine Airlines has OFFICIALLY announced there plans on a 50mil Investment into CRK Airport, I posted this news as the airline is seeking approval for CRK (same as Cebu Pacific). and someone deleted this information, i insure whoever did it, that it is True, and if you look at the reference i posted, you will see it IS true in fact. I will place it back up. It is basically the same deal with Cebu Pacific, official, but not yet happening.. tomauer 04:26, 2 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Future flights

If the airline does not fly yet and has not announced a precise date of starting operations, then it does not "serve" the airport. Jpatokal 02:17, 17 July 2007 (UTC)

  • If news about an impending commencement of operations can be quoted, then it is worthy of mention in this list, even if the exact date is not mentioned.--Huaiwei 11:50, 17 July 2007 (UTC)
    • Why don't you see other airport articles Jpatokal? -chris^_^ 12:00, 17 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Space Shuttle Landing Capabilities

May I refer you to the Space Shuttle page which has link of more then a dozen sites where the space shuttle can land in normal operation and in emergency operations. Therefore, the statement said in the beginning summary is false, and will be repaired shortly.--207.114.206.48 12:21, 3 November 2007 (UTC)
