I really hope they do something about the runway. The moment Air Philippines loses their Boeing 737's which all are about 20 years old, and replaces them with newer jets, they won't be able to service WNP because of the short runway. This is the reason why Cebu Pacific uses their ATR's (the turbo-propeller airplanes), because they can land in short runways. Not their new jets: Airbus A320's or A319's, which require runways longer than what WNP has.

Finally! Some interior photos! Wished there were photos of the ticketing and check-in counters as well.

Newly built? Decent looking.....

I agree. I don't mean to demean my city's airport but the above-posted photos are much better than the one below.

I agree. The runways are not long enough to accommodate planes of bigger bodies. Look at PAL. Ever since they upgraded their fleet to the giant planes, they left Naga and was replaced by their sister company Air Phil. Though everyone knows that the planes being used by Air Phil were the "pinaglumaan" of PAL, it's still nice to hear that PAL, one of the country's best though not the world's, is plying your city's airport. But still sad to hear that Air Phil, as I've seen on this thread, left the airport last Aug31 and was replaced by PAL Express. Too bad. I hope that whoever is governing the airport, be it the city government of Naga or the municipal government of Pili, add the upgrading of the WNP Airport to a first-class domestic airport in the country.

Naga and Legazpi are 3-4 hours apart... it's better for them to have their own airports. But I don't mean "own international airports".

I'm assuming that the seats are provided by the airlines for their respective passengers.

arianespace · December 6th, 2008, 03:51 AM

I think the problem with NAGA was the passengers volume and not the airport itself. In fairness, Naga airport is capable of handling a 319 jet but not the 320. Ever since Cebu Pacific pulled the passenger plug away from PAL, it suffered poor loads to the extent that the ATR carry more than the jet can accommodate. It cannot even fill half of its capacity. The plane smaller than the 319 but bigger than the Q400 happens to be the 737-200. It can fill up to 110 passengers or 40 more than the Q4 and 20 less than the 319.

So basically, what they did is flying the right plane for the right capacity. Pure business senses actually.

I didn't know that Naga Airport has been renovated. It looks more decent than the old one, of course.

....If they build another airport in Libmanan which said to be a world Class International Airport..what will happen to Naga Airport ..!?

jef_xavier · December 11th, 2008, 07:34 AM

I am not sure whether this will push through, considering that an International Airport is going to be built in Legazpi. I am for the upgrading of Naga Airport. If it's not to become an international airport then so be it.

axel(08)brixx · December 13th, 2008, 02:34 PM

very true ..!? malabo talaga ung 2 international sa Bicol ...they're very close same destination din naman which is Bicol ...!?

just upgrade thiz airport's short runway ..!? look un Loakan Airport sa Baguio City di nila pinasara kahit na may ga2wing airport somewhere in La Union ..!?

mr.suroy · December 14th, 2008, 02:23 PM

just build a decent rail line from legazpi to camarines sur and building another international airport will be deemed unnecessary.

That airport has been closed not because of another airport in La Union, but because its runway is too short and because it's too foggy, hence, it's very dangerous plus the short runway which makes it more dangerous.

lochinvar · December 16th, 2008, 07:07 PM

Camarines Sur is in the top ten biggest economy in the country and its major airport is in Legaspi.

kevinb · December 16th, 2008, 08:03 PM

It's understandable since Legazpi and Albay have been the top tourist destination in Bicol since time immemorial and Naga and CSur toppled the former just recently. Aside from those, the proposed international airport in Daraga has been in the pipework for more than a decade already.

Ah talaga? Well in that case sana sa Naga City na ang main Airport sa Bicol. Upgrade Pili Airport na.lol Im tired of riding on ATR's. Sana Airbus na din. The B737's of Air Philippines are already old.
