Bicol International Airport (Filipino: Paliparang Pandaigdig ng Bicol, Bikol: Pankinàban na Palayogan kan Bicol) is an under construction international airport that would serve Legazpi City, the capital of Albay and the regional center of Bicol Region, in the Philippines.
The airport is located in the town of Daraga. The P3.5 billion airport is located on a 200-hectare plateau 15 kilometers away from the Mayon Volcano. Some sources also name the airport Southern Luzon International Airport (Filipino: Paliparang Pandaigdig ng Katimogang Luzon) . The airport will replace the old Legazpi Airport, which is only 2 to 3 kilometers away from this airport.

Famous quotes containing the words city and/or airport:
“I come from the city of Boston,
The home of the bean and the cod,”
—John Collins Bossidy (1860–1928)
“Airplanes are invariably scheduled to depart at such times as 7:54, 9:21 or 11:37. This extreme specificity has the effect on the novice of instilling in him the twin beliefs that he will be arriving at 10:08, 1:43 or 4:22, and that he should get to the airport on time. These beliefs are not only erroneous but actually unhealthy.”
—Fran Lebowitz (b. 1950)
