Bacolod Airport or New Bacolod - Silay Airport

Hello Negros Occidental! Arriving at the New Bacolod - Silay Airport which is located at Barangay Bagtic, Silay City and about 30-45 minutes travel to the center of Bacolod City. The airport is for domestic flights in an effort to trigger business and tourism for the central Philippines (Visayas) area; this area includes Negros Island, where the new airport is situated, and Cebu Island, a popular tourist destination. The new airport, which officially began operations in January 2008 (the airport was thoroughly tested during flying operations conducted in October 2007), was designed to handle over one million passengers and 16,715t of cargo per year. Security equipment such as X-ray equipment which was procured for the new airport was loaned to the old Bacolod airport and was then transferred back and installed at the new airport.

To correct the info sir, the airport's main terminal building and most of its part sits in Brgy. IV (left side of the road when going towards the airport while on the right side it is Brgy V and towards southeast tip is Brgy. Bagtic and Brgy. Guinhalaran) so it is safe for me to say that the airport is located in Brgy. IV of Silay City.
