The Aboitiz Group’s infrastructure arm Aboitiz InfraCapital (AIC), which operates the Mactan Cebu International Airport, has been awarded the contract to upgrade, operate, and maintain Laguindingan Airport in Misamis Oriental.

The notice of award was issued by the Department of Transportation and the Civil Aviation Authority of the Philippines on Sept. 30, 2024, with the concession agreement expected to be signed by late October.

This P12.75-billion project includes renovating and expanding the airport’s terminal, upgrading equipment, and improving both airside and landside facilities. 

The concession will last for 30 years, boosting AIC’s presence in the Mindanao aviation sector.
