The Bacolod Airport was closed in January 2008, with the opening of the New Bacolod-Silay General Airport. This moved all the operations of the airport to a location approximately 25km northeast of Bacolod City. The danger of over-runs into a major population area was eliminated with this move. As well as allowing for the more frequent landing and departing of aircraft, as noise issues have been eliminated.
