It seems there are safety problems ( perimeter fence and access road needed ) ; also the need for new passenger terminal building. The 1.6 km airstrip is maintained for Philippine Military Academy.


This view from the late 1960s shows the airport with a PAL British Handley Page Dart Herald airliner. Handley Page went into voluntary liquidation in 1969.



Very nice aircraft Alan, I wonder if they made it a museum piece
