The Department of Tourism (DoT) has recommended possible restrictions in the operation of the Kalibo International Airport (KIA) next year.
Helen Catalbas, regional director of the Department of Tourism Region 6 (DOT-6), said Tuesday the plan is to close KIA to too many aircraft because of overcrowding.
"Right now, the KIA suffers from overcrowding due to the increasing number of foreign and local tourists going to Boracay," the tourism official said.
The KIA is considered a major gateway for tourists coming to this resort-island.
To lessen the economic impact of the KIA restrictions, the DOT has urged the Civil Aviation Authority of the Philippines (CAAP) to fast track all planned development for the airport, including rehabilitation and extension.
The CAAP had earlier tagged the KIA as one of the ten busiest airports in the country. It currently has direct chartered flights from Singapore, Hong Kong and other China provinces.
It also has a number of domestic flights daily from Manila.
