Expansion plans
In 2016 works to improve the airfield and expand capacity were commenced consisting of resurfacing the damaged runway surface, the building of a new 30 m wide parallel taxiway, a new control tower, expansion of the apron, and improvements to other administrative structures. These were made with an investment of approximately 27 billion pesos, much of which were national funds intended for the development of remote regions of the country.
In April 2018 the new taxiway entered use as a temporary runway (designated 09L/27R) to enable repair works on the main runway.
