New Bacolod-Silay Airport Review

Monday, June 8th, 2009

The New Bacolod-Silay International Airport is a new airport in Bacolod replacing the old domestic airport located 30 minutes away from the city proper at Silay City area. It can accommodate large aircrafts like B747 and A340. It has an impressive interior and exterior design as well. Philippine Airlines, PAL Express, Cebu Pacific and Zest Air currently serves the airport. Other features of the airport are elevators, escalators, aerobridges, computerized flight information display and a baggage conveyor.

 The floor is not just tiles but made of a material that something I dont know, its not tiles or vinyl but it is really soothing to the foot and safe from slipping even when wet. Can someone help me what they put on the departure hall of the airport?

The airport has a very smooth check in process probably because there are only few volume of passengers that time. It is also clean, well maintained.

I was also impressed with the seats, it is covered with foam, so seating would not be a pain in the ass unlike NAIA, Davao Airport, Iloilo and Cebu which have metallic seats.

However, upon roaming around the airport, at first we encountered brown-out. I thought it was just normal but brown-out happened for 3 times. I recalled from previous reports that this airport suffered electricity problems that damaged their x-ray machines.
