DOTC set to award Cebu airport project

Transportation Secretary Joseph Abaya on Tuesday said the awarding of the multibillion-peso Mactan-Cebu International Airport (MCIA) management and expansion contract is likely to take place next week but he has no idea which firm will get it.

In an interview after the Senate public service committee hearing on the MCIA bidding issue, Abaya said that the bids and awards committee (BAC) is expected to finish its verification process on the issues raised by the Filinvest-Changi against the Megawide-GMR consortium, the group that emerged as the top bidder for the contract.
