Operating hoursH24 — airport and ATC tower operate around the clock; commercial flights are scheduled across early-morning through late-evening slots, no published curfew
TerminalsSingle passenger terminal (about 13,700 sqm, opened June 2007) handling both domestic and international traffic via three jet bridges over a 48,000 sqm apron; a 2025 CAAP rehabilitation package (P141.11m terminal works plus a combined c.P600m runway asphalt overlay) is lifting peak seated capacity from 367 domestic/360 international passengers toward 675/407
Runways (1)
- 02/20 · 2,500 m / 8,202 ft · 45 m wide · Asphalt · ILS ILS CAT I (RWY 20 only; RWY 02 approaches are non-precision/circling)
Airport contact
CAAP's verified full-year 2025 traffic of 3,101,280 passengers (+11.25% y/y over 2024's 2,787,791) made Iloilo the second-busiest CAAP-run airport after Davao (Manila Bulletin, May 2026). Its would-be privatisation stalled: the Villar-group PAVI unsolicited proposal advanced through Swiss-challenge negotiations in 2024 but CAAP rejected the bid in April 2026 over documentation gaps, so the airport remains fully state-operated with no confirmed PPP timeline — CAAP is instead self-funding runway overlay and terminal works through 2025-26. A single runway (02/20) means any closure for maintenance, an incident, or the periodic ILS outages seen in NOTAM history (RWY 20 ILS and the DVOR/DME have each had unserviceable periods) can suspend all operations, and RWY 02 arrivals in low visibility require circling since only RWY 20 has an ILS.

Corrected ownership note: 1Aviation was created by Cebu Pacific in March 2018 to replace MIASCOR at MIAA-regulated stations, but Cebu Pacific sold its 60% majority stake to Philippine Airport Ground Support Solutions, Inc. (PAGSS), led by Jefferson G. Cheng, in July 2018 (BusinessWorld, Jul 2 2018) — Cebu Air Inc. is not the current majority owner. The company continues to handle Cebu Pacific/Cebgo plus other carriers across numerous Philippine airports.
