The Php 7.8 billion-project is planned to serve at least two million passengers a year, twice the capacity of the Tagbilaran Airport that it will be replacing once completed. It can handle up to seven aircraft, including large international flight planes, at the same time. The airport also has a 13,884 sqm area for the PTB, three boarding bridges, and a baggage handling system.

International flights will be catered by the airport starting November 28. It is expected that Panglao International Airport will boost the tourist growth and trade in Bohol.
Moreover, this project’s goal is to enhance the operations’ efficiency, safety, and security, improve customer amenities, and expand the networking and marketing of Panglao International Airport.
