Future expansion

A ninety-million peso expansion project was launched by the Philippine government in February 2009 to upgrade and improve the airport's facilities.[1] The project is divided into two stages, with the result being a 1.2-kilometer runway with a taxiway, apron and terminal building,[2] with the possibility of the runway being as long as two kilometers.[1] Once complete, the airport will be able to support small passenger and cargo planes, while at the same time serving as a reliever airport for Zamboanga International Airport in Zamboanga City.
