Bacolod-Silay International Airport

Bacolod-Silay International Airport opened in 2008 and features a single modern terminal serving as the primary gateway to Negros Occidental and the Bacolod area. This mid-sized regional airport handles mainly domestic flights with occasional short-haul international services, and is known for efficient layout and manageable walking distances. Located in Silay City about 15–20 km north of Bacolod, it’s reachable by taxi, airport shuttles and intercity vans in roughly 25–40 minutes depending on traffic. Budget travelers will find competitive fares thanks to strong low-cost carrier presence—notably Cebu Pacific and PAL Express—making it generally affordable for domestic connections.
