Good evening! We are students from PATTS College of Aeronautics conducting a feasibility study. We dont have a working title yet because our airport of choice has been changed from my previous request which is Bislig Airport to Francisco B Reyes Airport. Regardless, this will be our final airport of choice. The data we requested will be used to further justify our feasibility study. As we all know the aviation industry is booming again, we are aiming to expand and renovate Francisco B Reyes in our feasibility study by extending the runway, installing new taxiway, extending the apron and expanding the terminal to accommodate more larger aircrafts thus accommodating a much larger volume of passengers. By having the data requested, we will further strengthen the need for the expansion and renovation of Francisco B Reyes airport as it will show the increasing number of passengers pre-pandemic and now during pandemic where the aviation industry is becoming more open with lesser restrictions to air travel. We are hoping for your best response regarding the acceptance of our request. Thank you!
