The unsolicited offer by the joint venture, which would eventually require a competitive challenge, was submitted on 7 June 2017. A key feature of the proposal would also allow GMR-Megawide to assume airside operations currently handled by the nation's government, a first of this scale in the Philippines, reports suggested.

Assuming the offer is accepted by the government, the rehabilitation of existing facilities will be done from 2018 to 2021. The reclamation and construction of the second runway is targeted between 2022 and 2030. The final phase will be the construction of a third terminal slated for 2036 onward, reports added.
