User:Addis-Bot/20140530/List of airports in the Philippines
This is a list of airports in the Philippines, grouped by type and sorted by the airport's general location name.
Three classes of airports exist in the Philippines under the new system of classification instituted by the Civil Aviation Authority of the Philippines (CAAP): international airports, principal airports and community airports. Only airports owned by the national government are classified by the CAAP; the vast majority of minor aerodromes around the country are not owned by the national government and remain unclassified under the new scheme.
Classification
[编辑]Airports in the Philippines have used two different types of classification: one previously by the Air Transportation Office (ATO) and another being used by the Civil Aviation Authority of the Philippines (CAAP), the successor body to the ATO.
ATO system
[编辑]
The old ATO system divided airports into five classifications under two broad categories: international and domestic airports. These two broad categories were further divided into the following airport types:
- Primary international airports are the primary international gateways into the Philippines.
- Secondary international airports are airports that are capable of handling international flights but are not designated as primary international gateways. These airports may or may not service actual international flights and may or may not have active customs and immigration facilities.
- Trunkline airports or major commercial domestic airports are domestic airports in major cities around the Philippines that are capable of supporting large aircraft. These are, in most cases, the only domestic airports with an instrument landing system.
- Secondary airports or minor commercial domestic airports are domestic airports in smaller cities and municipalities usually capable of handling smaller propeller aircraft. Some airports in this classification are capable of supporting jet aircraft. However, these airports are only open from sunrise until sunset, usually requiring notification of airport authorities if nighttime landing is a necessity.
- Feeder airports are domestic airports capable only of handling small propeller aircraft. Many of these airports are small airstrips serving far-flung islands.
CAAP system
[编辑]The new CAAP system revises the previous ATO system, while maintaining the current classification of airports into international and domestic airports.[1] The change was made pursuant to the Philippine Transport Strategic Study and the 1992 Civil Aviation Master Plan. The new system rationalizes the system of airport classification, represented by the following types:
- International airports are airports capable of handling international flights. Airports in this category include airports that currently have or have previously served international destinations. There are currently ten airports in this category, including all primary international airports, most secondary international airports, and Puerto Princesa Airport and Kalibo Airport, both trunkline and secondary airports, respectively.
- Principal airports or domestic airports are airports that only serve domestic destinations. There are two types:
- Class 1 principal airports are airports capable of serving jet aircraft with a capacity of at least 100 seats.[1] Most airports previously classified as trunkline airports, as well as some secondary airports, are placed in this category. One former secondary international airports — the Bacolod-Silay Airport — is also in this category.
- Class 2 principal airports are airports capable of serving propeller aircraft with a capacity of at least 19 seats.[1] Loakan Airport in Baguio City, previously a trunkline airport, some secondary airports, and Godofredo P. Ramos Airport in Malay, Aklan; Camiguin Airport, Cuyo Airport and Sayak Airport in Del Carmen, Surigao del Norte (on Siargao Island), all feeder airports, are in this category.
- Community airports are airports that are used primarily for general aviation.[1] Most feeder airports are in this category and only three airports: Cauayan Airport, Labo Airport in Ozamiz City and San Fernando Airport in La Union, all former secondary airports, have regular air service.
Some feeder airports previously classified in the old ATO system, such as Lucena Airport, are not covered by the new system. Airports not owned by the national government which were not classified in the previous ATO system, such as El Nido Airport, remain unclassified under the present CAAP system.
Airports
[编辑]Airport names shown in bold indicate that the airport has scheduled service on commercial airlines. Under the current ICAO code scheme, airports in the Luzon island group (including the Cuyo Islands, but excluding Masbate and the rest of Palawan) are assigned RPL- and RPU- codes; those in the Visayas, Masbate and Palawan (except for Cuyo), RPV- and RPS-; and those in Mindanao, RPM- and RPN-. Airports whose ICAO codes are in italic may be obsolete as they do not fit the current scheme.
CAAP-classified airports
[编辑]The list below follows the CAAP's classification for airports in the Philippines.[2]
- ^ Cities that have become independent of the province are listed with the province it was formerly part of, as is the practice for statistical purposes.
Unclassified airports and airfields
[编辑]Below are aerodromes that have remained unclassified under the new CAAP scheme. Most facilities listed below are privately owned by individuals or corporations, while some are owned (wholly or partially) by local governments.[3] Some are non-operational, abandoned, or already closed. Most can only handle small aircraft, but a few can take some amount of chartered or regularly scheduled cargo and/or commercial air traffic.

Airports being planned or under construction
[编辑]The list below does not include domestic airports that are only being upgraded. The status for some of the airports is from a document from the Department of Transportation and Communication, with information current as of June 30, 2008.[4]

[编辑]Airport improvements
[编辑]In 2012, the government started bidding out projects for airports' rehabilitation and improvements which included runways, terminal and acquisition of equipment.[6] Included in the program are the following airports:
- San Vicente Airport - 62.7-million: development project covers the construction of a passenger terminal, a fire station building, elevated water tank, runway extension with slope protection and hill obstruction removal.
- Pagadian Airport - Php42-million: project includes extension of runway, widening of taxiway, rehabilitation and improvement of passenger terminal building, improvement and expansion of vehicular parking area, construction of drainage system, and construction of perimeter fence.
- Bancasi Airport - Php45.5-million: development project entails the expansion of the apron, improvement and expansion of vehicular parking area, construction of drainage system, and construction of concrete hollow block fence.
- Dipolog Airport - Php55.2-million: project covers the supply of labor, materials, and equipment necessary for the completion of construction passenger terminal building.
- Sanga-Sanga Airport - Php63.9-million: project includes new terminal building, an expansion of its apron, and construction of a drainage system.
- Awang Airport - Php58.1-million: project includes widening of taxiway and runway to support the program of making North Cotabato as a strategic link to the major “arterial road system” in Mindanao.
- Panan-awan Airport - Php43.4 million : improvements to accommodate commercial flights which will include the construction of runway strip and runway subgrade extension.
