Prior to its closure, the airport was designated as a Class 1 principal domestic Airport by the Civil Aviation Authority of the Philippines, a body of the Department of Transportation that is responsible for the operations of not only this airport but also of all other public airports in the Philippines except the major international airports.[2]
The airport was replaced by the new and larger Bicol International Airport in 2021.[3]
