THE DEVELOPMENT of the airport in Bantayan Island will continue following the signing of a new agreement between the Cebu provincial government under Gov. Gwendolyn F. Garcia and the Mactan Cebu International Airport Authority (MCIAA) last week. Under the previous agreement signed in Dec. 2018 by then governor and now Vice-Governor Hilario P. Davide III, an air-conditioned terminal lounge has been built at the community airport while a P94-million fund has been allocated for the ongoing construction of a 1.2-kilometer runway. The airport, located in the town of Sta. Fe, is planned for expansion to accommodate commercial flights. Bantayan, a popular beach destination in northern Cebu, is not connected by bridge to the mainland.
