LINGAYEN–Rehabilitation work for the Lingayen Airport is expected to be completed by mid-October, which would then allow for 10- to 20-seater aircraft to use the facility.

Mariano Trinidad, officer-in-charge of the airport, told The PUNCH that 549 meters of the 10 meter-wide asphalt runway is now being concreted.

The rehabilitation of the airport was initiated by Governor Amado Espino Jr. and the runway upgrade is being funded by the Department of Transportation and Communication. The local government earlier financed the construction of a perimeter fence around the airport.

The Lingayen Airport, built before the Second World War, is located in Barangays Libsong East and Libsong West.#
