Incidents and accidents On January 10, 2018, a Gulfstream G200 jet carrying six employees of the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas overshot the airport's runway while attempting to make an emergency landing. All six passengers were safe. The jet was scheduled to land at the older Legazpi Airport, but strong wind that struck the aircraft forced the pilot to land at the unfinished airport. On February 18, 2023, a Cessna 340 plane departing from the airport en route to Manila crashed near the crater of Mayon Volcano. All four occupants were killed.
