Aboitiz InfraCapital, Inc. (AIC) officially took over operations of Bohol-Panglao International Airport (BPIA) on June 16, 2025.
The formal turnover from the Department of Transportation (DOTr) and the Civil Aviation Authority of the Philippines (CAAP) marks a major milestone in the company’s expanding airports platform, the company said in a statement.
AIC is the infrastructure arm of the Aboitiz Group. BPIA becomes the third airport under AIC airports portfolio following Mactan-Cebu International Airport (MCIA) and Laguindingan International Airport (LIA) in Misamis Oriental.
“We are excited to officially begin operations at Bohol-Panglao International Airport and bring our brand of operational excellence, innovation, and passenger-focused service to this important gateway. This project more than infrastructure — it’s about enabling tourism, empowering local economies, and creating more inclusive growth across the Visayas,” AIC president and CEO Cosette Canilao said.
BPIA, the Philippines’ ninth-busiest gateway and a vital tourism hub, is set for a series of planned upgrades under a ₱4.53 billion public-private partnership.
Over the next few years, AIC will expand the passenger terminal building, modernize landside and airside facilities, and install new airport systems and equipment. (via PortCalls Asia)
