| The Department of Transportation (DOTr) has started construction of the new P953.4 million Busuanga Airport redevelopment project phase 1. The redevelopment project involves the relocation of the airport as well as construction of a runway embankment and re-orientation of the airport’s runway aimed at improving the airport’s facilities and allow it to handle jet aircraft. “A runway re-orientation was deemed necessary as both the approaches of the airport’s existing runway are facing the mountains,” Civil Aviation Authority of the Philippines (CAAP) Director General Capt. Jim Sydiongco said Tuesday. According to Sydiongco the airport upgrade is meant to bring the facility to international standards by 2025. The airport is the main gateway to the Calamian Group of Islands that compromises the islands of Busuanga, Coron and Culion. The first phase of the airport development project is slated to be completed on 2021. |
