THE UPGRADED passenger terminal building of Maasin Airport in Southern Leyte has been completed and will be inaugurated on Sunday, July 2. The terminal is now equipped with gang chairs, power, and water supply. Maasin Airport, one of the community airports under the Civil Aviation Authority of the Philippines (CAAP), served as an alternative entry point for relief goods and medicines in the aftermath of super typhoon Yolanda (international name: Haiyan), which severely damaged the Eastern Visayas Region’s main gateway, the Daniel Z. Romualdez Airport in Tacloban City. CAAP said the new passenger building project is intended to upgrade the airport from a community airport to a standard principal class 2 facility to meet increasing transport demand.
