Commuter Flights From NAIA To Subic?

Comment from a reader on "Subic Chamber Responds To Airport Issue":

Have anyone tough to use the airport as HELIPORT?

I mean like a regular transfer from say..NAIA to SUBIC... i work in Japan... i reside in Olongapo barretto. everytime i land at NAIA from Tokyo have to: Hire a car and driver with relative expenses, very time consuming, before getting on the Manila Tarlac highway the traffic in Makati is unbeliveable... a 4 hrs flight from Japan to Naia including the trip by car to Olongapo (Barretto) it turns almost into a whole day trip!!!

Naia to Subic via Chopper will be 45 min. at the latest!! There is one Hotel in angeles City that offers Chopper flights from the Airport to the Hotel and or/pleasure flights to Manila or else..best of all the price it is not at all prohibitive as one might think!!!!!!

[The Subic Bulletin] Given that the whole idea of a helicopter is to not require an airport, I would think there are other places in Subic to land a chopper with much lower landing fees than Subic Airport!
We are curious as to why you might say "Not at all prohibitive as one might think?" The helicopter in Angeles that is for hotel guests use only, charges $500 per hour, that is $250 for a transfer from Angeles to NAIA. I am sure NAIA to Subic would be at least $300. 14,000 pesos to get home from the airport seems quite prohibative to us!

We think the existing Subic Seaplane would do the job for far less than that!

But lets try a slightly different version of your idea. When Fedex was here they leased a small commuter plane to taxi pilots between Subic and Manila. Does anyone have any idea what the lease and running costs were of the commuter plane?

Is there any possibility that a consortium could be formed in Subic to lease and operate a small commuter plane?

Sea Air use to have a daily flight from Manila to Clark I think the plane had about 12 seats and they charged about 500 pesos for the flight, this was obviously too cheap but the plane was allways full.

If any of our readers are experienced in this area please tell us if this type of service could be viable?
