Bicol International Airport (Filipino: ''Paliparang Pandaigdig ng Bicol'', Bikol: ''Pankinàban na Palayogan kan Bicol'') is an under-construction international airport that will serve Legazpi, the capital city of Albay and the regional center of Bicol Region, in the Philippines. The airport is in the municipality of Daraga. The P3.5 billion project is on a 200-hectare plateau 15 kilometers from the Mayon Volcano. Some sources name the airport Southern Luzon International Airport (Filipino: ''Paliparang Pandaigdig ng Katimogang Luzon'') . It will replace the old Legazpi Airport, which is only 2 to 3 kilometers from the new one. Bicol international airport is 76% completed by Governor Joey Salceda. == Background == Bicol International Airport was in planning since early 2006,〔(Talks to construct airport under way ), ''Manila Times'', March 7, 2006〕 when officials discussed the feasibility of an international airport in Legazpi. During March 4 and 5, 2006, officials in Daraga, where the airport would be constructed, discussed with the barangay captains of barangays Alobo, Inarado, Kinawitan, Burgos and Mabini over the conversion of agricultural lands into industrial lands for the airport. It is estimated to occupy at least 2 square kilometres of land, and many families could be displaced from the construction. It will be the first international airport to be built in Bicolandia and, according to Daraga Mayor Gerry Rodrigueza Jaucian, would be a testament to economic growth in the region and of the dreams of Bicolanos, as shown in the following excerpt from the ''Manila Times'': :"We’re grateful to the President for fulfilling the Bicolanos’ dream to have an international airport. This is the realization of our quest to become one of the booming regions in the country." 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Bicol International Airport」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
