The operations and management of Bohol-Panglao International Airport (BPIA) will soon be transferred to Aboitiz InfraCapital as the Civil Aviation Authority of the Philippines (CAAP) prepares for its formal turnover.
CAAP said that the transition is a key milestone in the government's Public-Private Partnership (PPP) program.
The transition, spearheaded by the Department of Transportation (DOTr) under the administration of President Ferdinand "Bongbong" Marcos Jr., is a part of a larger effort to improve airport operations and elevate customer service for travelers.
CAAP Director General Raul del Rosario, along with Deputy Director General for Administration Danjun Lucas, and other CAAP officials visited BPIA on June 5 to personally thank the airport staff for their hard work and dedication towards the growth of the airport.
Del Rosario assured employees that those transitioning to Aboitiz InfraCapital can look forward to enhanced career opportunities and expanded benefits.
Meanwhile, those choosing to remain with CAAP will continue to receive support through redeployment to other airports, including newly established facilities such as the upcoming Bukidnon Airport.
The agency reiterated that the transition reflects the government's proven PPP framework, already in place at major gateways including Mactan-Cebu, Clark, Caticlan, Laguindingan, and Ninoy Aquino International Airport.
This model speeds up infrastructure development, enhances the passenger experience, and ensures long-term revenue for the government.
CAAP later said the target date for the official transfer of Bohol-Panglao International Airport to Aboitiz InfraCapital is scheduled for June 16 of this year.
