This year, the initials steps are slowly taking progress. If\neverything will follow through, Cebu will now have a total of four\nairports including the Mactan-Cebu\nInternational Airport. Aside from the community airports in the\nquaint towns of Bantayan and Medellin, another one will also be built\nin the Island of Camotes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Airport\nin Camotes Island<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\nThe\nMCIA and Cebu Provincial Government are working together in this\npartnership to develop the Camotes airport. Preliminaries\nwere already done in the Island of Camotes after the officials did an\nocular\ninspection last year \u2013 which was attended by Governor\nGwendolyn Garcia and MCIA Authority General Manager Steve Dicdican\nand GMR-Megawide Cebu Airport Corp. President Louie Ferrer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>According\nto Dicdican, MCIA\nplans to transform the 1.8-kilometer Camotes Airstrip in Barangay\nNorthern Poblacion in San Francisco town into a community airport\nfollowing the success of Bantayan. They are looking at the\npossibility of eventually transforming this community airport into a\ncommercial airport in the future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\nCebu\nGovernor Garcia also sees this development as an opportunity to make\nthe economy and tourism of the island progress even more. She shared\nthat an airport in a specific area is one of the deciding factors of\nmany investors. She added that she will sit down with the\nrepresentatives from the MCIAA and the GMRMCA to determine the\nparameters of the prospective partnership for the Camotes airport.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Nonetheless,\nGarcia also emphasized that whatever development is made, it should\nbe accompanied with sustainable environmental practices as well. She\nhas been urging the local government units of Pilar, Poro, San\nFrancisco and Tudela to forge their master plans and the\nComprehensive Land Use Programs (CLUPs) for this matter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Proposed\nSite for Community Airport in Medellin<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\nAside\nfrom the ocular visit in Camotes, Dicdican and a team from the Civil\nAviation Authority of the Philippines also made an ocular inspection\nat the proposed site of another community airport in Cebu in\nMedellin. This airport is said to be constructed in Barangay\nCaputatan Sur and is expected to spur growth in the town and other\nneighboring areas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\nLast\nAugust 7, the Municipal\nGovernment of Medellin announced over their social media that experts\nand government officials are already finalizing the runway component\nof the airport \u2013 which construction will begin in 2021. The bidding\nwas completed earlier this year and has been scheduled already for\nimplementation. A budget of Php100 million has been allocated for the\ncivil work of this airport. \n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\nAside\nfrom the airport, it was also disclosed that an aviation school will\nalso be put up within the airport property \u2013 which has been\nbudgeted with another Php12 million. \n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Extension\nof Bantayan Airport<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Last\nAugust 7, Dicdican also inspected the status of the ongoing\nconstruction at the Bantayan\nAirport. Despite the pandemic, it has been undertaking extension and\ncompletion of partially concreted runway and putting up of perimeter\nfence. According to the MCIAA General Manager, the entire length of\nthe runway is almost fully excavated except for patches of areas with\nhard rock. One of the segments is completely concreted already. The\ntwo (2) other segments will be completed in 2 months\u2019 time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This\nproject is expected to be fully completed by the end of the year and\nthe 1.2-kilometer runway will be ready for full utilization. &#8220;We\nplan to finish everything by November, so we can have a December\ninauguration.&#8221; GM Dicdican added.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Almost one year ago, three more airports were proposed to be constructed in Cebu.
