The airport sustained heavy damage following the onslaught ofTyphoon Nona in 2015. Rehabilitation works were started and the project consists of constructing a new passenger terminal building, taxiway, perimeter fence, expanding the apron, and improvements in the runway. The upgrade works at the airport were completed in August 2021 and were inaugurated on September 2, 2021.[3]
Prior to the upgrade, the passenger terminal building had a capacity of 50 passengers. After the upgrade, the capacity was increased to 150 passengers and can now accommodate 50,000 passengers annually.[3]
