THE Department of Transportation (DoTr) and the Civil Aviation Authority of the Philippines (CAAP) on Wednesday led the inauguration and soft opening of the expanded Passenger Terminal Building (PTB) of the Tuguegarao Airport.

The DoTr said in a statement that the expansion project included structural and architectural works. Last year, the airport’s runway and taxiway were also widened while the airfield lighting system, which is necessary for night time operations, was also upgraded. DoTr Undersecretary for Aviation and Airports Manuel Antonio L. Tamayo said the second phase of the airport development will start this year, including the expansion of the existing pre-departure and check-in areas and additional check-in counters at the second floor. — Patrizia Paola C.
