Expansion
On August 14, 2014, Philippine Senate President issued statement which included Calbayog Airport in the airport budget priority for 2015 with 678 million pesos allocated.

On May 9, 2017, DOTr begins the construction of new passenger terminal and site development. It was planned to be finished by April 28, 2019. However, in a progress report announced by the Department of Transportation on November 25, 2019, the construction of the new passenger terminal was 77 percent complete way late than the targeted date of completion.

The construction of the new airport terminal will not be finished at least until mid 2020. When construction is finished, bigger aircraft can land and take off from Calbayog Airport which means that it can accommodate flights direct from Manila using bigger planes.
