Today, i'l discuss about infrastructure...this time it is all about the newly opened airport in Silay City a year ago.
ABOUT THE AIRPORT
The New Bacolod-Silay Airport replaces the old Bacolod airport and is the main airport serving the general area of Bacolod City.
The airport is located fifteen kilometers northeast of Bacolod on a 181-hectare site in Brgy. Bagtic, Silay City, Negros Occidental. The airport which is designed with an international standard is built to become the primary gateaway to Negros Island and is envisioned to be one of the 3 international airports to service Western Visayas along with the Kalibo International Airport and the New Iloilo Airport.
It has one primary runway, 45 meters wide, and 2, 000 meters long. The runway runs in a direction of 03°/21°, and can currently handle aircraft as large as the Airbus A330. It is also equipped with an Instrument Landing System, making it capable of handling night and low-visibility landings.
The state-of-the-art facility is built to handle over a million passengers and 16, 715 tons of cargo annually.
Currently, 4 airlines are serving the airport to include Philippine Airlines, Air Philippines, Cebu Pacific Air and Zest Air covering Manila and Cebu flights.
