The Casiguran Airport, located inside the Aurora Pacific Economic Zone and Freeport Authority (APECO), is being positioned as a future international gateway in the northeastern part of Luzon.
The airport is one of APECO’s key infrastructure projects to help the Aurora Province to transform as a strategic hub for tourism, trade, and investment.
“We will be bidding out the passenger terminal building and air traffic control tower this second quarter of the year,” APECO President and CEO Atty. Gil G. Taway IV said.
PCEO Taway added that positioning the Casiguran Airport as an international gateway will connect Aurora directly to the global markets. It will also make the province more attractive to investors, tourists, and as a competitive hub for emerging industries.
This major infrastructure in APECO also gained strong support from Aurora’s Lone District Representative Hon. Rommel Rico T. Angara.
Congressman Angara, in his special message during the APECO-InfiniVAN Memorandum of Understanding Signing event last March 27, said there will be commercial flights coming in and out of Aurora Province by June 2027.
“In Baler, we have a domestic airport. But in Casiguran, together with APECO and the Board of Directors, our vision is for the coming years—final timeline will be 2028—to have an international, operational airport in Aurora Pacific Economic Zone,” Rep. Angara said.
As momentum builds, APECO continues to lay the groundwork for a more connected and investment-ready Aurora, anchored on its vision of becoming a globally competitive and sustainable economic zone.
