About Bacolod-Silay Airport

Bacolod–Silay International Airport (IATA: BCD, ICAO: RPVB), is an airport serving the general area of Metro Bacolod, located in the Western Visayas region of the Philippines.

The airport is located 15 kilometers (9.3 mi) northeast of Bacolod on a 181-hectare (450-acre) site in Barangay Bagtic, Silay, Negros Occidental. The facility inherited its IATA and ICAO airport codes from Bacolod City Domestic Airport, which it replaced in 2008. Capable of handling international air traffic, the airport is the busier of the two major airports serving Negros Island, the other being Dumaguete Sibulan Airport in Sibulan, Negros Oriental.

Despite being billed as an international airport, Bacolod–Silay is designated as a Class 1 Principal domestic airport by the Civil Aviation Authority of the Philippines, a body of the Department of Transportation that is responsible for the operations of not only this airport but also of all other public airports in the Philippines except the major international airports.
