## Description

Built for roughly 16,700 tonnes of cargo a year, Bacolod-Silay Airport (BCD) opened in 2008 to serve Metro Bacolod on Negros Island. Its freight moves mainly as belly cargo aboard passenger services, handled through a dedicated cargo building. Perishables drive the volumes: mangoes, fish and seafood from Negros Occidental head out on flights operated by Philippine Airlines, Cebu Pacific and AirAsia. These connections feed the national gateways at Manila and Cebu, where international shipments are consolidated, as no all-cargo carriers serve Bacolod directly. For bulk commodities such as sugar, the nearby seaport remains the primary route, leaving air freight to the time-critical agricultural trade.
