Aklan Governor Florencio Miraflores is pleased with the improvements
at the Kalibo International Airport (KIA).
According to Miraflores, the national government, through the
Department of Transportation and Communication (DOTC) ensured KIA’s full
development.
The Governor added that DOTC Secretary Joseph Emilio Abaya
promised to promptly carry out the improvements at the said airport and turn it
into a premier gateway of the country.
Because of the continuous flow of tourists and the increasing
demand of air traffic cargo, KIA facilities are also targeted to be upgraded.
The Kalibo Airport is also permitted to accommodate more direct
and chartered regional flights to be competitive with other airports in
Southeast Asia.
As a preparation for international flights, the expansion of the
runway is on-going at the moment.
Kalibo International Airport is also known to cater to most number
of international flights in Western Visayas as Aklan is considered a premier
destination because of Boracay Island.
