The airport rehabilitation is backed by more than P190 million in funding from the Department of Transportation (DOTr) General Appropriations Act (GAA) 2024. Of this amount, P132.9 million is allocated for the rehabilitation and improvement of the Passenger Terminal Building, covering civil, structural, architectural, mechanical, electrical, plumbing works, and the installation of new equipment such as escalators and elevators. Another P37.55 million funds the supply and installation of three 600-KW chillers. Currently, the terminal can accommodate 367 domestic and 360 international passengers. Once the ongoing and planned works are completed, capacity is expected to increase to 675 domestic and 407 international passengers, significantly boosting the airport’s service potential.
