President Rodrigo Duterte on Thursday led the formal opening of the Bicol International Airport (BIA) after an 11-year delay.
The completion of the “world-class and state-of-the-art” airport facility in Daraga, Albay, which cost nearly P5 billion, will provide better transportation for our people who are traveling to and fro the Bicol region, Duterte said in his speech.
He thanked the Department of Transportation, local officials, and project partners including the Civil Aviation Authority of the Philippines for turning the BIA into a reality.
“Today’s inauguration is another milestone in the administration’s ‘Build, Build, Build’ Program. We are fulfilling our vision of improving the lives of Filipinos by providing quality infrastructure projects that allow for greater connectivity and mobility, create more jobs, and boost economic activity in other regions,” the Chief Executive said.
“This airport, also dubbed as the ‘Most Scenic Gateway’ in the country, promises to provide an unforgettable travel experience not only to visitors but also to many Bicolanos,” he added.
Duterte likewise urged the management and staff of the BIA to ensure that passengers will “get the best quality of service they deserve.”
“I am confident that, once fully operational, this airport will be able to serve the needs of those which expected two million passengers annually, and provide the efficiency, reliability, and safety standards to ensure a modern airport,” he concluded.
