Major changes are coming to Naga Airport as the Department of Transportation (DOTr) and the Civil Aviation Authority of the Philippines (CAAP) gear up for the development of a new airport site—a key component in transforming Naga into a future-ready aviation hub for the Bicol region.
The airport improvements form part of the national “Build Better More” infrastructure agenda under the leadership of President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. and DOTr Secretary Vince Dizon, which directly exhibits the government’s commitment to modernizing transport facilities across the country.
The proposed New Naga Airport Development Project Phase 1 is targeted to commence by September this year and will cover earthworks and site preparation.
This development is part of the broader Naga Airport Reorientation Project, which aims to build a modern airport capable of handling full jet operations—day and night—in compliance with international civil aviation standards. Once completed, the new airport will be equipped to meet the increasing air traffic demands in Camarines Sur, while supporting the continuing growth of Naga City and surrounding municipalities as one of the Bicol region’s major growth centers.
Meanwhile, construction works at the existing Naga Airport continue to move forward. Ongoing projects include the asphalt overlay of the runway, implemented in Phases 1 and 2, with contract amounts of PHP 71.5 million under CAAP APP 2024 funding, and PHP 85.2 million under CAAP APP 2025, respectively.
These upgrades—both ongoing and upcoming—are expected to result in safer, more efficient, and more convenient air travel for Bicolanos and all passengers using Naga Airport.
