Bacolod-Silay International Airport — Bacolod City, Philippines

BCD stands for Bacolod-Silay International Airport, built to replace an aging in-town terminal that had become boxed in by Bacolod City's own growth. Located on the island of Negros in the Philippines, the field sits 82 feet above sea level and runs a single runway. It opened in 2008, taking its name from both Bacolod and the neighboring municipality of Silay, where the current facility actually sits. BCD now handles the bulk of scheduled traffic into Negros Occidental, linking Bacolod to Manila, Cebu, and other major Philippine cities. Since replacing the old city-center airport, the field has offered more room for expansion and wider safety margins than its predecessor allowed. Bacolod itself continues developing as a commercial and agricultural hub known widely for its sugar industry, and BCD has grown to match that steady regional demand. Passenger traffic through the airport also spikes each October during Bacolod's MassKara Festival, when visitor numbers climb well above the yearly average for this stretch of Negros.
