Bohol-Panglao International Airport has begun initial reconfiguration works led by Aboitiz InfraCapital, marking the start of phased upgrades aimed at improving passenger movement, accessibility and overall operations at the facility.
The initial works focus on key passenger areas and form part of a broader plan to support current demand and future growth while maintaining day-to-day operations.
Bohol-Panglao is the Philippines’ 10th-busiest airport.
The programme follows approval from the Department of Transportation and the Civil Aviation Authority of the Philippines in March 2026. Approved plans include layout changes, security measures and additional equipment.
Bohol’s status as the country’s only UNESCO Global Geopark has contributed to the push for improvements, alongside continued growth in tourism and investment. Discussions between local government and airport management have also covered space allocation for local products within the terminal.
The upgrades will be introduced in phases, with further details to be released as work progresses. The project forms part of ongoing efforts to maintain service standards and support the airport’s role in regional connectivity.
“Enhancing Bohol-Panglao International Airport is part of a coordinated effort to strengthen the country’s aviation gateways. Through close collaboration with airport operators, these improvements in efficiency and facility design help ensure safer, smoother, and more responsive operations for passengers,” said Raul Del Rosario, director-general, Civil Aviation Authority of the Philippines.
