The Transport Department (DOTr) has inaugurated the new 132.2-million pesos Camiguin Airport passenger terminal building Thursday.
DOTr Secretary Arthur Tugade said the passenger terminal has grown four fold from the time Duterte administration expanded the airport facility in 2018.
"Before it can only accommodate 60 passengers, with the new one, it's now 220, there will be an impact in tourism with that," he said.
Tugade and Civil Aviation Authority of the Philippines (CAAP) Director General, Captain Jim Sydiongco, led the inauguration of the projects for Camiguin Airport.
The completed projects include the expansion of the passenger terminal building amounting to PHP29.2 million; construction of the administration building (PHP4.6-M); one bay fire station building (PHP3.2-M); construction of CAAP Security and Intelligence Service (CSIS) Office PHP2.04-M); as well as the asphalt overlay of the runway (PHP93.04-M).
Philippine Airlines and Cebu Pacific flies at the airport before the covid19 pandemic hit the country.
