The airport is also paying P260,000 to P280,000 a month for power bills, she said.
Chuang stressed that Dumaguete airport has an average income of P23,000 a day or P690,000 to P700,000 a month.
At present, the airport has ongoing projects amounting P75 million to expand the airplane parking area and asphalting of runway. (Victor L. Camion)
